Description
In the 1990's the Original Tuskegee Airman Ezra M. Hill Sr. and his wife Mable began an effort at home in Newport News, Virginia, to lift up the children of the Southeast Community through comprehensive reading programs. Master Sergeant Hill and his wife discovered early that giving kids an appetite to read would help them to excel in school and become future leaders. Ezra Hill knows that the success of the Tuskegee Airmen was based on the airmen's ability to read. He wrote in his book The Black Red Tail Angels, which helped to inspire the film Red Tails, about the journey of his life and how it intertwines with the famed Tuskegee Airmen. Now the Congressional Gold Medalist re-introduces his commitment to his community and others across the US who are inspired to read by the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen in his book The Black Red Tail Angels. With your support of The Black Red Tail Angels, you are receiving a rare piece of history and a collector's item, which will provide support to improving literacy for children worldwide.
