Tuskegee Airmen Memorial
Tuskegee Airmen Memorial for Equity and Social Justice
Tuskegee, AL
The Tuskegee Airmen Memorial will be a monument to the team of African American fighter pilots and crew who served their country in the Second World War at home and abroad. These individuals have been recognized internationally for their dedication to the principles of democracy and freedom in the face of overwhelming individual and institutional obstacles.
More than a monument, the memorial will be a living center for the development of educational programs and public policy related to equity and social justice. Located on a site overlooking the original Moton Field in Tuskegee, Alabama, the memorial will stand as an enduring testament to the inspiration of some of America’s most patriotic citizens. Its mission will be to promote courage and determination through educational and public policy programs for the benefit of future generations to follow.
The public educational and policy programs for the memorial will be created thorough a community based planning process. Through this process hundreds of adults and youth will be engaged nationally in exploring the physical, cultural, social, educational, organizational and economic components of equity and social justice and how the principles formulated by the Tuskegee Airmen can be applied to advance democracy and freedom for all Americans.
The Tuskegee Airmen Memorial is currently in the process of developing partnerships and funding for the planning and implementation of this innovative national site and program. This project was developed in collaboration with artist John Scott.
