As the first Black pilots, they had to fight for our country abroad while fighting against racism domestically. Today their message of resilience is more important than ever. Using the hashtag #FlyLikeThem, we teamed up with Lucasfilm to educate young people about their resilience and ability to rise above the odds. We shared quotes from the Airmen, highlighted facts from their World War II experiences, and encourage everyone to share personal stories inspired by their heroic examples. Celebrities got in on it too by sharing how the Tuskegee Airmen inspire them in their daily lives in short videos with the hashtag #FlyLikeThem
