AZ Tuskegee Airmen “Black Wings over Arizona” book
Black Wings Over Arizona (BWOA), written by ARAC’s notable author Colonel (Ret) Richard Toliver. BWOA is the collective history of nineteen original Tuskegee Airmen who had ties to Arizona from 1945 to 2024. Their stories chronicle the outstanding commitment, dedication, performance, and contributions made during and after WWII; thus, making the world, our nation, and Arizona a better place in which to live.
The Archer Ragsdale Arizona Chapter (ARAC) Tuskegee Airmen Inc. seeks to reach the approximately 1,000 high schools in Arizona to present these stories. As part of this effort, they will do the following:
- In coordination with state, city, and local educational officials, ARAC plans to reach the approximately 1,000 high schools in Arizona to present both the Tuskegee Airmen and 6888th stories to inspire and motivate students.
- BWOA books, a prepared PowerPoint presentation, and video media links will be donated as complimentary gifts to school libraries to be checked out under the supervision of the teachers and/or librarians.
- Students will be encouraged to check out and read BWOA, view the links, and then write a 150-word essay to earn a $50 gift certificate redeemable at any Albertsons/Safeway store in Arizona.
