Ladybug53: I am a 4th grade teacher in PA... I am committed to teaching history in its fullness and entirety. My students are Latino and Black and really want to know about the impact their culture have had on the American experience of today. My grandfather knew Tuskegee airmen... what a tribute.

This tells a wonderful story, not just of pilots, of people coming together, placing a dream (several actually) first and foremost and not just working but accepting the struggle to make it come true. Their dream of flying, and contributing to the war effort came true a lot faster than their dream of changing our culture by showing what they could do -- but decades later we can look back and see how significant their contribution was, and be grateful for that, as well as their service.
This is a very well done book on the Tuskegee Experiment, keeping all aspects of the story interesting and engaging.
