#Repost @nmaahc ・・・ Granville Coggs, who died on May 7, at the age of 93, was among the first black #aviators in the U.S. #ArmyAirCorps. At the #Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama, Coggs trained as a bomber #pilot, bombardier and gunner, and became one of the legendary Tuskegee Airmen. At a time when racial #segregation was enforced by law in the #UnitedStates, the Tuskegee Airmen served as the first black aviators in the U.S. Army Air Corps. Coggs served in the Air Corps until 1946, and was one of the few Tuskegee Airmen still alive in 2019. #MilitaryAppreciationMonth #APeoplesJourney 📸: Granville Coggs poses in front of an AT-6 at Tuskegee Army Air Field, AL, U.S. AIR FORCE, Department of Defense

Yesterday evening at East End. Mr. Ellison, who has tended his grandparents’ grave for decades, came last weekend to trim the grass and repaint the plot border. #eastendcemetery #rva #family #community #grassroots #thisplacematters 📷 @wokdocs

A little perspective: This is what #EastEnd looked like in #summer 2013, right as work got under way. Since then, we’ve cleared more than six acres by hand and uncovered nearly 3,200 #grave markers. None of it would be possible without the thousands of #volunteers who’ve worked alongside us over the years. #eastendcemetery #rva #community #grassroots #thisplacematters #blackhistoryeveryday #africanamericancemeteries #throwback #forest #preservation All 📷 by John Shuck
