Program Description

Event Details

In celebration of African American History Month, we will welcome Chicago author Michael Haupt who will take us back in time to learn about how two African American auto mechanics followed their passion for aviation.  These men paved the way for others to learn to fly, as well as creating the first black-owned and operated airport.
