Come to the Community Room to hear Bill Lyon speak about Robert Cole. He was an African American, grew up in Northfield, Vermont, and became a Tuskegee Airman..

"A Tuskegee Airman was an African American that wanted to get into World War II to become pilots and prove their worth to a nation that was basically ignoring them. In the end, it was a group of approximately 1000 men, pilots trained in Tuskegee, Alabama.” Bill Lyon.
