In the dialogue box below please respond thoroughly to the following scenario.
Fate 1 How do the white officers treat you? Is it better, worse or just different than your experiences at home? Explain.
Fate 2 While you are stationed in Alabama your family is caught up in the race riots which erupt in your home city (find out about these first). Write a letter home.
Fate 3 Easter Sunday is a quiet morning on the base; all of the officers are attending church services. You and your fellow pilots, however, have been banned from attending. When you tried to enter the chapel you were turned away by the MPs. What is your reaction? Where do you go? What do you do?
Fate 4 The war is over. You return home from service in one of the most decorated units of the armed services. What did you and your fellow pilots do to earn this honor? BONUS: How do your accomplishments compare with other air units?
Fate 4A The last home you knew was Nashville, TN. While you were away, your family, along with many other southern blacks, migrated north. The only things you know about Detroit are the race riots and the scant descriptions in the letters from your family. Where do you call home? What will you do when you get there? What post-war obstacles do you face?
