Have house guests over the Thanksgiving weekend? Bring the crew down to the Museum for a visit to From Slave to Sharecropper: African Americans in the Low country after the Civil War, then watch The Tuskegee Airmen. This movie picks up at the end of our exhibit period and tells the remarkable World War II story of the U. S. Army Air Corps Fighting 99, the first squadron of African American combat fighter pilots. Did you know the Tuskegee Airmen had a Low country connection? Over 500 Tuskegee Airmen received advanced combat training at Walterboro Army Air Field from 1944-1945 before they were sent into action in the European theater. RATED PG-13.
