Forgotten Souls: The Search for the Lost Tuskegee Airmen
With Cheryl W. Thompson
Saturday, February 21
2:00pm - 4:00pm
Randallstown Branch
COLABNPR investigative journalist Cheryl W. Thompson tells the story of the disappearance of 27 Black pilots who trained at the Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama.
It was 1945. Twenty-seven Black pilots who trained at the Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama left for a mission in Europe and disappeared without a trace. NPR investigative journalist Cheryl W. Thompson, the daughter of one of the lost soldiers, tells their stories in her new book. In Forgotten Souls: The Search for the Lost Tuskegee Airmen, Thompson highlights the dedication and courage of men who faced unimaginable racism and still chose to fight for their country. She also explores the impact that their disappearance left within their families and communities. Book sales and signings follow the program.
