'Forgotten Souls' explores the missing Tuskegee Airmen

Season 2026 Episode 36 | 6m 34s

Often overlooked in America’s history of World War II are the 27 Tuskegee Airmen who disappeared in combat. Geoff Bennett recently sat down with Cheryl W. Thompson, whose father was also an airman. She chronicles the lives of the missing men and the racism they endured while serving their country in her new book, “Forgotten Souls: The Search for the Lost Tuskegee Airmen.”
