Surviving Tuskegee Airman Army Lieutenant Calvin J. Spann will share his
story at Texas A&M University-Commerce March 7 at 3:30 p.m. in the
Ferguson Social Science Auditorium. 

The event is open to the public at no cost and hosted by Kappa Alpha Psi
Fraternity Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Student Access and
Success and Alumni Relations as part of A&M-Commerce's celebration of
Living Legends Lecture Series.

A&M-Commerce and the community will have an exciting opportunity to see
history come to life as Lieutenant Spann, one of the first black
military aviators in United States history, shares his story as a
Tuskegee Airman. Spann is one of few surviving airmen from the original
996 pilots who trained at the Tuskegee Army Airfield between 1941 and
1946. Now in his late eighties, Spann is part of the legacy that
inspired the new movie Red Tails. After sharing his story, Spann will
answer attendee questions.
