‘Tuskeegee Airmen’ Screened at Library

About 30 persons today attended a showing at the Westport Library’s McManus Room of the 1995 film, “Tuskeegee Airmen” a semi-fictionalized account of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first all-African-American Air Force squadron during World War II. The film centers on an ambitious young pilot, Hannibal Lee, portrayed by Laurence Fishburne. The 106-minute film was shown in conjunction with the WestportREADS book selection, James McBride’s “Miracle at St. Anna,” a tale of courage and redemption inspired by a little-known historic event toward the end of World War II.
