This is #Part2

A reflection from the #ChatRecap of the special #Juneteenth edition of @CPSolvers #VMR episode w/ @gradydoctor
and her wonderful Father Mr. William (Tony) Draper.

The "Positive Stories from Tuskegee"

Part 1 was hard to stomach. It demonstrated the racial disparities that existed & we should all self reflect on as clinicians to make sure it doesn't happen again

But it shouldn't overshadow what has transpired since

This is why Mr. Draper wears the hat. (not this exact one) Image
Before them, no African-American had been a U.S. military pilot.

So who were the Tuskegee airmen?

They were a group of Black & Caribbean-born military pilots who fought in WW II.

They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the US Army Air Forces

I usually do a #ChatRecap of the @CPSolvers #VMR episodes.

This past Friday was #Juneteenth and we had 2 special guests. @gradydoctor and her wonderful Father Mr. William (Tony) Draper.

And not to my surprise, there was no chatter. We just listened!

We learned about the holiday celebrating the day when all remaining enslaved Black Americas were freed in Texas, on June 19th, 1865, with this hour-long storytelling event.

There was something notable that Mr. Draper was wearing and I thought I would give a #tweetorial on it.
He was wearing a Tuskegee hat and shirt. Although I had heard about it in the past, I didn't know much about it to the detail that I felt comfortable with.

I wanted to share some notable things that I found.
