It was a beautiful, long-overdue tribute and I was so happy to be there for it! I learned more about my great-great-uncle, met some incredible people, scored myself a model plane, and witnessed Papa and great-uncle Norman get surprised with a ride in a fully restored WWII-era P-51C Mustang (the signature aircraft of the Tuskegee Airmen).

I’m humbled to be a descendant of greatness and honored to stand on the shoulders of giants.

Remember his name: Alfred Gorham. Remember all of them.
