America’s Black Eagles — Part 1. Clipped Wings
Description
Can blacks fly airplanes and fight? The answer to this odious question would come from the creation of the only all-Black air force ever established by the U.S. military. This program from Tony Brown's Journal reviews this dark period in racial relations and the black community's response to a segregated "separate but equal" policy of the Army Air Corps.
