7.2.2+The+Tuskegee+Airmen

=The Tuskegee Airmen =

toc =Description= The Tuskegee Airman were a group of African American aviators who were the first to participate in a United States war. Not only were they just a group of men, their was a college/university made up just for them during this time to learn how to fly and do the things necessary to be a strong U.S. fighter. Aside from many peoples beliefs, The Tuskegee Airman became one of the best of the best and began to teach other African American men (who were new to the college) and keep expanding their size. This was a sort of symbol for the U.S. because it shows how although we use to have trouble with races and discrimination, we had gotten over that past and moved on to help support each other in the war. = = =The Videos=

Our video tells the story of what The Tuskegee Airmen were through many photos. The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African American aviators who were the first African American aviator men to participate in a U.S. war. They first fought in WWII but because there were still laws out limiting the actions of African Americans, they weren't allowed to **fully** participate in the war. Basically what it meant was that some of the Tuskegee groups weren't allowed to serve in combat like the 477th Bombardment Group. Other groups like the 332nd Fighter Group was the only operational unit and they served in Sicily, Italy, and then moved on to Europe. The Tuskegee Airmen had many more groups and missions but in the video you will find that out through the pictures. When we were making our project the first thing we did was research the Tuskegee Airmen. We looked up every fact about them and all of the little battles they participated in. After we got all of the information and facts we then started to look up pictures. When trying to find pictures for out project we really put thought into which pictures would have to most meaning. The pictures that we found are really quite amazing because they actually tell a story within themselves. Next we found music to correlate with the pictures so when you watch the video, the music really makes you think about each and every picture. Some of the challenges that we had with this video was that we really wanted to find a good recording of one of the Tuskegee Airmen talking while on duty. Just to hear what they were saying as they were bombing people/things. It would have really made the pictures have more meaning to them but they are powerful enough without the recording. Overall this project went pretty smoothly and we had little trouble putting it together.
