February Virtual Program

“Tuskegee Airmen: Lt. Col. Clarence Dart” 

Thursday, February 20, 2025, at 7PM

Join the Foundation and Cynthia Providence, for a virtual program celebrating her father—a Saratoga Springs local and heroic Tuskegee Airman: Clarence Dart. Learn about his remarkable contributions during World War II and his lasting legacy.

The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African American military pilots and support personnel who served during World War II. Trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama, they were part of the U.S. Army Air Corps, which later became the U.S. Air Force. Despite facing systemic racism and segregation, they excelled as aviators and ground crew, flying missions primarily in North Africa and Europe.The most famous unit, the 332nd Fighter Group, became known as the “Red Tails” for the distinctive red paint on their aircraft tails. They earned an impressive combat record, providing bomber escort and proving their skill and courage in battle. Their success helped pave the way for the desegregation of the U.S. military in 1948 and was a significant milestone in the broader Civil Rights Movement.

This program will be hosted via Zoom for a suggested donation of $10 or more.  All registrants will receive a Zoom link in advance, as well as access to the program recording.
