Lesson Plan: Remembering the Tuskegee Airmen

May 20, 2019 2 Comments

Memorial Day is almost here. As you know, this is the day on which we remember those who died in active military service. Some of those who sacrificed their lives were brave Tuskegee Airmen.

Tuskegee Airman Captain Lawrence E. Dickson was just twenty-four years old when his plane went down in Austria during World War II. Last year, the Pentagon released this article announcing that remains found at an Austrian crash site are those of Captain Dickson.

In honor of Captain Lawrence E. Dickson and the courageous Tuskegee Airmen, I’ve compiled a list of resources you can use to teach your children about this elite group of talented pilots.
