Mehdi Alhusseini's paragraph on heroes


Who do you think is the best example of a hero?
The person/people I think are heroic would be the Red Tails. They were the World War 2 Tuskegee black airmen that fought segregation and fought in World War 2.The 13 original Tuskegee airmen were a hard working group of pilots who protected Americans bombers. The Red Tails are heroes because they helped the U.S. win World War 2. But even though they won the war, military laws still segregated the black pilot’s air force and treated them like second class citizens. To help the country end segregation Truman signed the Executive order 9981. Today people still remember how the Red Tails had a big part in ending segregation because they proved that it does not matter what skin color you are to be good at something.
