CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) A Tuskegee Airmen historian, Ron Spriggs will give a presentation of the Legacy of the Tuskee Airmen on Thursday, November 14 from 4–5:30 p.m. in Froemke Auditorium inside Foss Music Hall on the Valley City State University campus.
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American pilots in World War II. The segregated unit was trained at the Tuskegee Institute, a historically black college in Tuskegee, Alabama.
Ron Spriggs is an oral historian, lecturer and curator of the Tuskegee Airmen exhibit. An eight-year U.S. Air Force veteran, he is a retired IBM manager and business planner.
Spriggs founded the Ron Spriggs Exhibit of Tuskegee Airmen in December 2002 as an independent means of telling the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen. Spriggs fosters the theory that Tuskegee Airmen are not just black history; Tuskegee Airmen are American history.
Plus the movie screening of “Tuskegee Airmen: They Fought Two Wars” will be held in the VCSU Wednesday, November 13 in the Skoal Room. The public is welcome to attend.
