Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site held a group bike ride at Moton Field to honor fallen Tuskegee Airmen.
The ride began with a program, emphasizing the importance of Memorial Day and its connection to the Tuskegee Airmen. The route stretched from Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site to Tuskegee Lake and back. Participants biked eight miles, lasting for two hours.
Sixty-six fighter pilots who trained at Moton Field were killed in action during World War II.
Event coordinators said its important that these African American airmen get the honor they deserve because many did not get recognition in the past.

The Coin Analyst: Have Circulating Commemorative Programs Outlasted Their Welcome?
A
major new bill that will create several new series of circulating commemorative quarters and other coins has just become law. Unfortunately, it risks repeating several of the mistakes of other recent coin programs of this type.
In the annals of American numismatics, many circulating coin programs have played a key role in stimulating greater interest in the hobby and increasing the ranks of collectors. This includes, of course, coins such as
Lincoln cents,
Washington quarters, and
Walking Liberty half dollars, among others – sets of which at one time could be started, and in some cases completed, from circulation.
