Tuskegee Airmen offer insights into era of segregation

Tuskegee Airmen offer insights into an era of segregation and change

When he was a Tuskegee Airman on an Alabama air base in the 1940s, Cecil O. Byron and other members of the all black squadron could not shop or dine in the nearby town. They were relegated to the balcony at the movies and could not leave the theater until all the white patrons had gone. Byron, right, and Lemuel A. Lewie, 92, at left, both live in the same Baltimore County neighborhood, and spoke recently about how different things were in the era of segregation.
