The Tuskegee Airmen

The Tuskegee Airmen is a really fine film. I remember seeing it back in 1995 when it was released. It stars Laurence Fishburne, Allen Payne, Malcolm-Jamal Warne, and Cuba Gooding, Jr. For those who do not know this celebrated story of how black soldiers were trained to be fighter pilots in the Army Air Corp during World War II. It is the story of how they went from be despised and ridiculed as inferior human beings incapable of flying planes to revered as one of the most successful divisions in the Army Air Corp. They did not lose one bomber that they protected. The acting is good and the story is great. You should see this movie.
