The legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen lives on in 'Red Tails'

From "NBC Los Angeles":http://www.nbclosangeles.com: Anticipation is building for George Lucas' movie "Red Tails" about The Tuskegee Airmen, black pilots in the segregated military in World War II. Evelyn Johnson doesn't need a movie to appreciate those pioneers. Her husband Raymond was a Tuskegee Airman, drafted out of ROTC at Howard University. "He liked flying, but he could not fly here. As a matter of fact, the Tuskegee Airmen when they came back home, couldn't get jobs flying. They couldn't even fly freight," according to Johnson.
