Today is DC Emancipation Day, a day that commemorates the abolition slavery in DC. It is also a day that celebrates the courage and struggle of individuals who have fought for freedom, and how this work is still needed now.

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again.
