Secret Skies: The Queer Airmen of Tuskegee, by Michael Schreiber

During World War II, the Tuskegee Airmen helped shatter racial barriers as the first Black aviators in U.S. military history. But for the queer members of this celebrated brotherhood, that triumph was bittersweet, waged in silence for a nation that demanded they bury their full identities. This exhibit examines the untold history of these heroes, who fought for freedom abroad while continuing to be denied it at home. Published originally on OutHistory in October 2026.
