President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama greeted Tuskegee Airmen at a special screening of the movie "Red Tails" at the White House.
The event was held Friday.
"Red Tails," which opens this Friday, tells the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black aviators to serve in the U.S. military. The George Lucas film stars Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Tristan Wilds, Nate Parker and Atlanta R&B star Ne-Yo .
The Atlanta Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen hosted an advance screening in Morrow last week. I attended and met several of the veterans. It was such an honor. Here's the blog post about that event .
