San Francisco Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site Quarters- 1 Roll San Francisco

The Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site quarter is the 56th and final in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program.

Established in 1998, the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site commemorates the heroic actions and achievements of the famous Tuskegee Airmen. The site preserves five historic structures used during primary flight training in World War II. They are Moton Field, Hangar I, the bath and locker building, the All Ranks Club (also known as the Skyway Club), and Hangar II.

This reverse (tails) design depicts a Tuskegee Airman pilot suiting up to join the fight during World War II with the Moton Field control tower in the background. The pilot looks upward with pride and confidence as two P-51 Mustangs pass overhead. The inscription “THEY FOUGHT TWO WARS” is arced across the top as a reference to the dual battles the Tuskegee Airmen fought—fascism abroad and racial discrimination at home. Other inscriptions are 'TUSKEGEE AIRMEN,' 'ALABAMA,' '2021,' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM.'
