THE LEGEND OF TUSKEGEE
It was the battles of World War Two
Started out as just an experiment
Over Germany negro boys flew
Those boys flew with abandonment.
The Tuskegee Airmen overcame segregation
Prejudice they over came and respect they earned
Fought flying side by side for the war’s duration
Giving defensive cover many pilots able to return.
Proving conclusively that African Americans could fly
Their chants before flights was to fight, fight, fight
Once in the sky true warriors they were willing to die
God was on their side and flew into the light.
Thanks to the Airmen of Tuskegee all so proud
Their achievements opened the door for integration
Their flying crosses they did give a message loud
Heroes in the air and on the ground, no more segregation.
