The Experiment at Lockbourne 🛩️

In 1946, the U.S. Army Air Corps launched an experiment near Columbus to determine whether an all-Black unit could operate an air base command.

BSPC’s own Bob Hines and Bethany Presbyterian Church’s John Mitchell will explore the Tuskegee Airmen at Lockbourne and the role racism played in the military and our wider culture.
