Last week, I Quintin was allowed the honor to listen to One of the men who served in WWII. He was one of the 900 Tuskegee Airmen, the first black group of pilots in the Air Force. There where many lessons to learn from Lt. Broadwaters, the man who spoke. I learned that Stereotypes are usually wrong, there was a poll prior to WWII saying blacks were incapable of flying air planes, but the Tuskegee Airmen proved that wrong. I also learned that anyone can do anything, and that intelligence leads to great things in life.
I (Omar) did not get to listen to Lt. Broadwaters, but i did learn a lot in the reading we did in class. I learned alot from the Tuskegee Airmen, like that there are no limits in life, or that there are people in life that try to harm you, and tear you down, but there are people in life that also want to help you. I learned this from the Tuskegee Airmen because they fought in a war during segregation in america, at first blacks weren't allowed to even fly air planes, but people helped push them so that they could, so that now the legacy that people helped the Tuskegee Airmen make, now allows minorities be apart of the Air Force, and other Armed Forces
