The Tuskegee Airmen (group of black pilots from WW2) will be receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor. Over 130 people have ever received the honor since 1776. Those honored include George Washington, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, etc. Noel Harris, former Tuskegee, had this to say:

Today, recognizing that America said, ‘Thank you,’ to the black pilots to me is hard to put into words. To be recognized by America is more than I could have dreamed of.

300 Airmen will be on hand as the award will be presented to at US Capitol Rotunda. So that will make it 301 (Rosa Parks included) black people honored with the Congressional Medal of Honor. They might as well call those honored the NBA. Robert Griffin, 77, mechanic who later became a navigator had this to say:

This makes up for some of the past shortcoming of our society in this country in the ’40s, the ’30s and times before that, all the way back to slavery.

So does an apology, but we haven’t come that far.

Reflect on that with your: coffe con leche
