Honoring The Tuskegee Airmen

Atlanta City Councilmember Michael Julian Bond, along with Mayor Kasim Reed and other members of the City Council, presented proclamations honoring the brave men--and women--of the surviving Tuskegee Airmen on Dec. 5.

“This is a great American story, one that needs to be told and re-told to generations to come,” Bond said.
