This week we visit Alabama! Learn about the incredible contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen, who fought a dual war against both discrimination and Axis forces during World War II. Alabama is also home to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, which provides vital propulsion systems and hardware for NASA’s space programs.
