Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, Alabama
Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site preserves an essential chapter in Alabama’s history. Before 1940, African Americans were barred from flying for the U.S. military. Yet, civil rights organizations and black-owned newspapers pressured the federal government to lift the ban in the lead-up to World War II. Those efforts, boosted by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, resulted in the formation of an all-African-American aviation squadron based in Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1941. Pay tribute to the site and celebrate it into perpetuity with original poster art and vintage national park art available as prints, canvases, framed posters, notecards, postcards, metal signs, and mini canvases.
