About this listen

 The podcast discusses Tuskegee University's groundbreaking aviation program - the first of its kind at an HBCU. The podcast emphasizes the significance of this program to foster diversity in the field, citing that less than 2% of commercial aviators in the U.S. are Black. It speaks to the larger societal implications, such as challenging harmful stereotypes and paving the way for more young Black individuals to aspire to aviation careers. The script also pays tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, connecting their historical impact on racial barriers in the field to the potential future impact of Tuskegee's program. The podcast ends by discussing the broader benefits of having more Black pilots; including role-modeling, improved travel experiences, increased industry innovation, and a transformation of aviation culture to be more inclusive and representative.
