William Booker, a bomber with the Tuskegee Airmen, never complained.
He didn't complain about being pushed from town to town – from Texas to Florida, to Michigan, to Indiana and to Kentucky – because whites didn’t want black troops stationed near their homes. Nor did he complain about being segregated from other fighter squadrons.
Dolores Booker, his wife of 45 years, said that later, when he visited schools, students asked him, “Well, why did you want to fight for a country that didn’t want you to serve?”
