In 2007 President Bush awarded the Tuskegee Airmen the Congressional Medal of Honor. In 2009 President Obama invited them to his inaugural address. And in early 2012 George Lucas made a motion picture movie about them. On July 17, Mayor Menino will do his part to honor these men. The City of Boston is dedicating a bridge to the Tuskegee Airmen, the African American pilots who fought in World War II. We'll talk to one man whose father was a member of this elite bombardment squadron.
Guest:
Charles E. Walker, son of a member of the Tuskegee 477th Bombardment Squadron
