Help Us Tell The Story That They Want You To Forget

The Tuskegee Airmen were trailblazers for justice and now their history and courageous legacy are under attack

The story of the Tuskegee Airmen -- as told through the singular voice of Louisiana’s last Airman, Calvin G. Moret -- is not just a feature-length film about history, it’s about a testament to courage, excellence, the struggle for civil rights, and the fight for dignity in the face of structural racism.

The 900 who were part of the Tuskegee Airmen experience risked their lives for a country that did not grant them full equality, and yet they soared above every barrier placed on their path anyway.

Today, as we see efforts to deny, distort, or outrightly erase the truth of our nation’s civil rights struggles, the need to tell this story becomes more urgent than ever. If we allow their voices to be silenced, future generations may never know the sacrifices they made for the freedoms we have today.

AIRMAN: The Extraordinary Life of Calvin G. Moret is not just about honoring the Tuskegee Airmen -- by way of the singular experiences, stories and perspectives of Airman Calvin G. Moret— it’s about protecting our collective memory, defending truth, upholding justice, and ensuring that their fight for civil rights is never forgotten.

However, we cannot finish this film without you.

It is only by way of your support that we can bring Mr. Moret’s story to where it belongs; where it can inspire, educate, preserve history, uphold justice, and ignite action.
