TUSKEGEE, Ala. (WSFA) - The second Tuskegee Airmen Legacy Commemoration Day event was held virtually this year.
The Friends of Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, Inc. presented the event Sunday evening. Usually, the event would feature a banquet and activities.
During the event, former Tuskegee Mayor Omar Neal spoke with some of the airmen about their time with the Tuskegee airmen.
“Going to Tuskegee, we had a lot of things to overcome. But, that caused us to turn inward, and our classmates and our roommates each became so important to us,” Lt. Col. George Hardy said.
That incident, we ve moved on from it, Nichols said. We don t even speak about it.
Nichols, who was brought on as an assistant during the 2017-18 season, has stepped in as the Lions interim coach. The 1995 Roosevelt graduate shares a close relationship with Moore, and even though his brother can t be on the sidelines with him, Nichols has vowed to do everything he can to steer the team in the right direction.
So far, so good.

The exhibit, titled Women in the Air Force: From Yesterday into Tomorrow, surveys historical milestones, changes in laws and attitudes and the many contributions of women to the Air Force mission. Air Force Museum Curator Christina Douglass said the role of women in aviation, the U.S. Army Air Corps and the Air Force has never been neglected at the museum. But this exhibit ties strands of history together in new ways that makes the subject ripe for exploration.
