Chances for African Americans to participate in the U.S. military were historically very limited. African American soldiers had to battle **racial discrimination, general exclusion,** and **limiting quotas** to prove they possessed the intellect and skills to be considered successful fighters. After the black press and various civil rights groups put pressure on the United States Army Air Corps, the US Air Force finally decided to train a small number of African American pilot cadets at **Tuskegee University**. The training took place primarily at **Moton Field**, the only training facility for African American pilot candidates during World War II. The enormous success experienced by the Tuskegee Airmen proved to the public that African Americans could become effective military leaders and pilots when given the chance. Soon after, this historic program paved the way for the desegregation in the military. The obverse of the coin displays the bust of George Washington, our country’s first president, surrounded by inscriptions. The reverse of the coin features a Tuskegee Airman in uniform, preparing to join his fellow pilots in the sky. The pilot looks up towards two P-51 Mustangs flying overhead, with the Moton Field control tower standing in the background. The inscription “**THEY FOUGHT TWO WARS**” refers to the simultaneous battles the Tuskegee Airman fought during WWII: fascism abroad and discrimination at home. **Coin Features:** - **Final release in the ATB Series** - **Limited Mintage of 20,000** - **Philadelphia “P” Mint Mark on obverse** - Made from .999 fine silver with a weight of 5 troy oz - Uncirculated Finish - Produced by the US Mint - Face value of $0.25 - Coins arrive inside official US Mint box, along with a COA - **Obverse**: Profile of George Washington.
