A Black History Month program later this month will focus on African-American military and civilian legacies at Keesler.
The program, which will be held Thursday, Feb. 23 at 6 p.m. at the Biloxi Civic Center, also will include a segment on the Tuskegee Airmen.
Then on Sunday at 3 p.m. HBO’s 1995 movie “The Tuskegee Airmen” will be shown for free at the Saenger Theater. An hour before the movie, theatergoers will have a chance to ask questions of members of the Lawrence E. Roberts Chapter of Tuskegee Airmen.
The program is co-sponsored by Negrotto’s Galley, the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, the Lawrence E. Roberts Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen, the Second Liners Mardi Gras Club of Biloxi, the city, and the Keesler Air Force Base African American-Heritage Club.
