I’m so sorry, Christopher. Please know we will always remember and honor your mom’s uncle. That bigoted behemoth in the White House will never succeed in erasing the legacy of the brave, brilliant Tuskegee Airmen.

No. Anyone with kids can show them the movie and talk to them about the contributions of women and Black men during the War. I just learned about the women who fixed the mail (thanks to Kerry Washington's movie). ART can be used to ensure they are not forgotten - and FUCK TRUMP.
We will forever discuss these brave men and their contributions to desegregation of America, by their dedication to themselves and others, through mastery of their skills!!
You can't erase duty, honor, country, respect & sacrifice. The removal of the words on a website do not negate American men and women fighting and dying for this country. This is a small man who will never know what service for & to others really means but we do. 🇺🇸
Some continually try to erase Black History...foolish as the others who tried the same tactics which only causes the uncovering of more historical facts. History is written and weaved into the fiber of the Universe...finite minds may forget others may cover it but History will Never be erased.
True American heroes will not be erased. This is forever in the hearts and minds of true Americans.
Remember spread this message far and wide. This is a travesty.
Stand together. Stand strong.
But he's not erased, he's just off the front burner for a while. I'm not for any of this sad sack "poor me" cr*p. Firstly realize this is all very temporary.
Those heroes can Never be erased by anyone ever! There are so many documentaries and historical records of their heroic deeds. America knows them! He thinks all Veterans are "suckers and losers" he is going to get the VA for billionaire tax breaks. They are already the richest people on🌎 Fuck that🍊💩
There was a lot of resistance for creating a squadron of Black pilots on the grounds that the Blacks lacked the intelligence and skills to be effective. In the end, bomber pilots on missions over Europe specifically requested this squadron because a lot less planes were lost with them escorting.
"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." The orange lunatic can't erase the memory of your mom's uncle and the stories of black men and women heroes. We won't let him.
I’m old and mixed up my history 😵💫. It’s horrible for Trump and his anti-DEI agenda to literally try to whitewash the bravery and contributions made by these Airmen. Their contributions are an important part of our history, and was not DEI.
In #FindlayOH is a little known gem, #TheBlackHeritageLibrary&MulticulturalCenter which houses the Smithsonian “Black Wings” collection featuring African Americans in aviation history.
History will not be erased.
I will teach my grandson and my relatives. Fill your bookshelves with history, hard copies, that can be used as reference. The pen is mightier than the sword.
Having always been interested in history I remember reading about this when I was just a teenager and feeling so proud that we had such an amazing group of people in our military, willing to fight for our country. I for one will never forget.
And take videos if you see ICE agents too. They're questioning and rounding up any people of color. Racism has always been here but now it's spiraling out of control.
I can hear the instructors now.
“I’m ordered to not teach you that there was racism in the military and there were some brave heroes that flew called the Tuskegee airmen, so I’m not telling you this”
My great uncle William Fauntroy, Jr. was a Tuskegee Airman. I refuse to allow his legacy to be in vain. We don’t give up, we fight back! #TheGreatDisrupter ❤️✈️
He's not erased, just because the cowards in the military gave in to the racist, means nothing. There are museums and plenty of Black colleges and Universities to keep their memories alive, as well as their families.
FOTUS attempts to WHITE WASH US History only proves how weak insecure and intimidated HE is by successful men of color AND successful women of color. His biggest weakness is his fragile little girl ego. #NeverForget #TuskegeeAirmen #BlackHistoryMatters
Fuck them! They will never erase these brave men. Sounds like time to crowd source a site on the Tuskegee airmen with funds we would have sent in taxes.
He can’t erase history or these courageous men, who were integral to fighting the war against evil. We must remember and preach to keep them in school curriculum.
Never erased. My father in a rare moment of reflection told me of a bombing run in his B24 and they were being shot at by a Nazi fighter. Could not shake them. Suddenly the shooting stopped. A fighter pulled alongside and sorry but my Dad said a man with the whitest smile gave 👍 and flew off. TY
No, he is not erased, Christopher. That idiot thinks the only way we will remember your great-uncle and the other airmen is through this video. Their story is our history. As long as you are alive, let others know about him. You can't give that much power to this jerk.
Our family will NEVER forget these brave men. We pay attention to real history, we pass it down to further generations. The GOP will not erase such an important part of American history.
If I was still teaching I’d teach about everything that monster is trying to erase. The Tuskegee Airmen are an important part of our history and true history will never be erased. Don’t comply!
This is disgraceful but now daily. One of my greatest honors was meeting a Tuskegee Airman. Ten years ago. Would have never believed this but it was looming on the horizon.
We’ll be talking about this tonight with our kids- what erasure is, why it is political, it’s goals and also- who these men were, what they faced and did. I suspect we won’t be the only people having this conversation round the dinner table.
I just ordered copies of "The Tuskegee Airmen" and "The Women with Silver Wings" from Barnes and Noble. I understand that some librarians are also stocking those books. DO NOT LET FASCISTS ERASE HISTORY!!
We have buying power! Buy History books, the US Constitution, pro Democracy Books, etc. so that future generations will know the truth! They can try to whitewash our history but they will fail when we all fight back!
they were incredible unrecognized hero and once finally awarded the acclaim they have deserved, only to be 'erased' by a horrible person in power. not to worry they will not be erased and will be recognized again, I'm sorry
Take heart in knowing that the Air Force may no longer teach its recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen, but they will remain as a part of history FOREVER.
Not erased and the job now is to keep talking about this history and more of the others that the MAGA crew (because most in senate, congress & P and VP are not Republicans) are trying to rewrite. Oppression happens when people don’t stand together for greater good.
I love how B-17 pilots in WWII would cheer when the Rad Tails showed up to protect them.
They knew that those men would die trying to protect them.
The Tuskegee airmen were unmatched in the air and on the ground 👍
Not erased!! Just purged from the sight of these ignorant, scared white men! Scared of psychopath narcicists and open minds!
We remember and will return history accurately once we purge this ignorant admin!! 😠😡🤬
Here’s an idea … gather as much info on our history that dumbass is trying to erase and create an online education course. Parents (every one of us) can download, learn and keep their memories alive.
Don’t let them erase history.
I live in Alabama. I go to Tuskegee for some of the best veteran healthcare I've ever gotten in life. Hell naw the Tuskegee Airmen will be forgotten--they are an important part of military and state heritage. Fuck these white supremacy chucklefucks.
In honor of Webb’s Uncle. I’m going to buy the Tuskegee book and donate it to my local library. Everyone else should do the same. The fascists can try all they want but they won’t erase history .
Remembering Trumps 1st term, that cruelty is not a bug, but a feature. This is sad, the story of the Tuskegee Airmen is one of the best American stories. MAGA is code red, 10/10, total ASSHOLE. “Vengeance in this world or the next”
I am sorry, most of here know and understand what this administration and the rethugnicans are
doing. We all have to work together to get things back to normalcy.

This is one of America’s finest moments
It’s sickening.
“I’m ordered to not teach you that there was racism in the military and there were some brave heroes that flew called the Tuskegee airmen, so I’m not telling you this”
Mt. Rushmore, more like Rikers!
Tissue paper is thicker than 🥭 Mussolini's skin.
😩
💙💙💙💙🙏🏼💙💙💙💙
There is no fulfillment in view with this monster.
If he stay there, it's a 100 % failure.
This guy is there only to be free of jail, remember. He had no choice to run for potus.
