President Donald Trump's executive order dismantles DEI programs on a federal level, but efforts continue from Montgomery to Tuskegee.

The legacy of Black aviation is a point of pride in Gary, where the contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen — trailblazing pilots who fought for America abroad and equality at home — are honored through tributes like a statue at the Gary Aquatorium and a bridge at Gary/Chicago International Airport.

Over the weekend, the Air Force responded to a political uproar over the removal of instructional videos on World War II-era African American and female pilots by declaring that the two films had been restored to the service's basic training curriculum.

Controversy erupts over the Air Force's decision to remove Tuskegee Airmen video amid Trump's executive orders on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The Air Force pulled the course for review last week following the Trump administration's sweeping order barring diversity programs.

The Air Force is resuming its boot camp lessons about trailblazing Black and female World War II pilots after the material was flagged for review following President Donald Trump's order to cancel all diversity efforts in the military.

Newly-confirmed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth confirmed Sunday in a social media post that the U.S. Air Force will continue teaching about the famed Tuskegee Airmen.

A video on the pioneering Black pilots, famed for their World War II exploits, was stripped from an Air Force basic training curriculum this week.

To hear that their heroic acts were almost erased from history by the branch of the U.S. Armed Forces they helped, is a slap in the face of Black America, says Bea Hines.

Admission to the Tuskegee Airmen Museum at the Hosanna House will be free in February. Visitors can come to the Hosanna House at 400 Sherwood Road in Wilkinsburg every Saturday and Sunday of the month from 12 to 4 p.m. The free admission is in celebration of Black History Month.

A basic training course that included a video about the famed World War II Black aviators was shut down last week in response to President Trump's DEI ban.
