The red Tail Squadron (Tuskegee Airmen) story is pretty well known - But even so, General Chappie James deserves some more spotlight.

Daniel "Chappie" James Jr. (February 11, 1920 – February 25, 1978) was an American fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, who in 1975 became the first African American to reach the rank of four-star General.

I live in St Louis so perhaps look into Harris Stowe University - Mainly a teachers college and an HBCU.
Because - In 1981, Harris-Stowe became the first university to offer Bachelor of Science in Urban Education. This degree is unique to Harris-Stowe and is designed to prepare teaching specialists for the unique urban-related problems affecting inner city schools.
