PRESS RELEASE – The Tuskegee Airmen National Museum, which honors the history and legacy of its namesake group, has relocated to Detroit. The museum, which was previously in Michigan’s Fort Wayne, moved to the Coleman A. Young Gallery inside Detroit’s Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. The gallery is named after Detroit’s first Black mayor who was a second lieutenant, bombardier and navigator in the Tuskegee Airmen.
