"Red Tails" screening at Jengo's Playhouse
"Red Tails" screening at Jengo's Playhouse
During World War II, the Civil Aeronautics Authority selects 13 black cadets to become part of an experimental program at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. The program aims at training colored personnel to become fighter pilots for the Army. However, discrimination, lack of institutional support and the racist belief that these men lacked the intelligence and aptitude for the job dog their every step. Despite this, the Tuskegee Airmen, as they become known, more than prove their worth.
This screening is sponsored by the NC Black Leadership Caucus.
