ZEITGEIST (German) ~ in the spirit of the times

This special mural by Marcus Akinlana is THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN: THEY MET THE CHALLENGE

This is Philadelphia's 3,000th mural which was dedicated on Sunday, June 14, 2009 in West Philadelphia.
This mural celebrates the achievements of the Tuskegee Airmen, the nation’s first African American military airmen and women.
This group was comprised of the air crew, ground crew and operations support training in the Army Air Corp during WWII.
The mural includes images of some of the local members when they were younger, but still remains intergenerational.
Other elements of the design were inspired by stories the men told of how they yearned to fly when there were young boys.
Members of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen were actively involved in putting together this mural, and were in attendance for the dedication.
Much of this mural is three dimensional.
