THE STORY: Experience the story of true American heroes: the Tuskegee Airmen, the first Black flight squadron in the United States, who bravely completed almost two hundred missions during World War II. Fly follows members of that squadron from their first days being trained by a bigoted captain to their triumphant victory in a vital mission over Berlin. A griot, a traditional West African storytelling role, reveals the men’s inner feelings through tap and hip-hop. In this richly told story, the Tuskegee Airmen defy prejudiced expectations to experience a freedom in the air that they rarely find back on the ground.
