Tuskegee Airmen

The Tuskegee Airmen comprised America's African-American flying corps during World War II. Overcoming obstacles created by unthinking prejudice, they made a real contribution to the Allied war effort. Their exploits have been chronicled in several films, including, most recently, "Red Tails." Although not a critical success (40% on Rotten Tomatoes), I found it enjoyable - there's something very satisfying about watching a bunch of black guys kicking some Nazi ass.
