Lighting, easy

The Tuskegee Airmen were racially discriminated against both within the army and without. The Tuskegee Airmen were tagged as trainees despite some having served in the army for several years and some with hundreds of flight hours. They were not permitted to mingle with white soldiers and were denied access to most officer's clubs. Many local businesses would not server the airmen and they were not permitted to hold command posts until the war was nearly over.
they trained in Tuskegee University because it is in Tuskegee, Alabama. Also since they still had to face segregation, Tuskegee University only had Black, African-Americans there to train them. i believe maybe a few white people that were against segregation helped along to because in the movie "Red Tails" some whites helped train them.

In the beginning of "Red Tails," the white pilots are engaged in a dogfight against German forces during World War II. They demonstrate their skills and bravery, showcasing the intense aerial combat of the time. However, the scene also highlights racial tensions, as the African American Tuskegee Airmen are initially sidelined and not given the opportunity to fight despite their eagerness and training. This sets the stage for the story of the Tuskegee Airmen's struggle for recognition and their eventual deployment.
