Perfect...

Overcoming gravity was a challenge for early pilots. But black (fighter) pilots had an extra challenge; overcome the forces of racism. Meet the men and women of color who took to the skies in the 20th century and helped prove to a segregated nation that skin color isn't everything. From biplanes to commercial jets and from barnstormers to war fighters, meet the pioneering pilots who opened the skies for everyone.

How beautiful is this documentary of overcoming overcoming the history of black pilots, we really can't imagine all the difficulties they went through, it's unimaginable, disgusting, outrageous and absurd... The stories told of a lot of struggle and pain, necessary, so that let us know the facts, know our mistakes and never make them again, this is the greatest importance of keeping the past alive in memories...
