The Tuskegee Airmen project is a tribute that consists of more than 20 paintings that accurately portray the foreign and domestic exploits of the first African American fighter pilots, their support crews, their families, their predecessors as well as their legacy. With the help of surviving Tuskegee Airmen, Pentagon personnel, and noted historians, this body of work has been created with as much attention to detail and accuracy as is possible. Museums such as The National Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson AFB (Dayton OH.), The Museum of Flight/Northwest African American Museum (Seattle WA.), and the National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African American Culture at Alabama State University have scheduled showings of these paintings. Up to this point, the entire project has been created at my own expense but it is impossible for me to continue on my own.  I am seeking financial support to cover the essential costs of framing and shipping this collection as well as the cost of insurance.  These funds are essential to getting this project to the next phase and showcasing this tribute.
