Figures’ bipartisan bill to rename a post office located in Tuskegee after the Tuskegee Airmen passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a voice vote. The Tuskegee Airmen were composed of African American pilots and support personnel who trained at Moton Field and Tuskegee Army Airfield and fought bravely during World War II, making them the first African American military aviators in our Armed Forces. They not only defended our nation and the freedom of those abroad but also overcame racial barriers at home trailblazing a path for generations of future service members and military leaders. | 1 | 2026-09-17T09:52:05Z | 2026-09-17T09:53:00Z |
