The City School District of Albany joins the nation in saluting the Tuskeegee Airmen

The City School District of Albany joins the nation in saluting the Tuskeegee Airmen, an elite corps of African American fighter pilots who helped the Allied Forces achieve victory in World War II. The Tuskeege Airmen were honored by President George W. Bush and Congress yesterday for their heroism, sacrifices and bravery. Among the Tuskeegee Airmen who were in attendance for the ceremony was Saratoga resident Clarence Dart, whose daughter, Dawn Ray is a speech teacher at Arbor Hill Elementary School. The school district community is encouraged to learn more about these legendary pilots, and information is available in Times-Union articles from Thursday and Friday of this week and from your school and local public libraries.
