Honoring the Tuskegee Airmen

As part of the “Tuskegee Airmen: America’s Freedom Flyers” exhibit, STL is proud to showcase a replica of the Congressional Gold Medal awarded to the Tuskegee Airmen in 2006, the highest civilian honor Congress can bestow.

The exhibit, now on display in the Kling Family Gallery, honors the first African American military aviators in the U.S. Air Force and their lasting impact on aviation and American history.
