ESPN has announced the creation of the Red Tails Classic, a football event to honor the Tuskegee Airmen who fought in World War II. The game will showcase Historically Black Colleges and Universities and be played in Montgomery.
The game will be played at Cramton Bowl and will feature Tuskegee playing Fort Valley State. The game will be Sunday, September 5, at 7PM and air on ESPNU.
“We are extremely pleased to highlight Tuskegee University in an annual kickoff event in Montgomery for the next three years,” Pete Derzis, ESPN senior vice president, college sports programming and ESPN Events, said in a statement. “The history of this outstanding HBCU institution is accented with the important role the Tuskegee Airmen played in World War II, and serves as a great source of pride that we hope to highlight within this nationally televised event.”
Every community has its leaders, influencers, and examples of gifted and giving people. The greater Kenosha County area has always had more than its share of these people. But, time is relentless, and the past year has seen a number of these exemplars left us.
The light of our community is dimmed by their loss. This is, by no means, a complete list of those people, but here are some of those giving and influential people our community has lost in the past 12 months.
