Why were the Tuskegee Airmen important during World War 2?

As far as the overall outcome of WWII itself goes the effect of the Tuskegee Airmen was in my opinion minimal. None of the axis powers, combined or individually, had the resources or the industrial might to carry on a protracted two front war, which is basically what the axis was facing and had they war in the Pacific continued the Russians would most likely have gotten involved on that front in greater depth. What The Tuskegee Airmen, along with many of the other African American officers from all the military branches of WWII did in my opinion was pave the way for the changes in American society that culminated in the civil rights gains of the 60s. The combat record of the Tuskegee Airmen while exemplary and even more so considering the circumstances of the day, and certainly deserving of the utmost respect and commendation , is not as important as [URL=http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/acsc/97-0429.pdf]The Freeman Field Mutiny [/URL] and the ensuing changes in U.S. military policy that followed... whether directly or indirectly a result of the "mutiny" itself.
