This is the 7th episode in a podcast that examines the life and legacy of the great educator and civil rights leader Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune.  In First in Flight: The Story of the Tuskegee Airman, host Dr. Randolph Bracy Jr. talks about Mary's instrumental role in helping to integreate our nation's military in the critical years leading up to to World War II in the 1930s and early 1940s.  Mary leveraged her relationship with First Lady Elenor Roosevelt to lobby for the creation of the Army Air Corp, which helped pave the way for first military aviator group in the U.S., the Tuskegee Airmen, to get off the ground.
