U.S. Senate passes resolution honoring Tuskegee Airmen
Black Issues in Higher Education, June 2, 2005
WASHINGTON
The Senate has passed a resolution honoring the Tuskegee Airmen for their bravery in World War II and their role in creating an integrated U.S. Air Force, an accolade coinciding with the 60th anniversary of the war's end.
"I am proud to recognize the great accomplishments of the Tuskegee Airmen, honor their services and thank them for their dedication to racial equality in the United States Armed Services," said U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
The resolution, approved in May by the Senate, was passed by the House in February. It recognized the achievements of the all-Black pilot squadron created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940. Trained at a field in Tuskegee, Ala., the airmen never lost a bomber to enemy fighters, despite more than 200 combat missions during the war.
