The guests are retirees Col. Charles McGee and Lt. Cols. Alexander Jefferson, Washington Ross and Harry Stewart Jr.

They were members of the famed African American air unit, the Tuskegee, Ala.-based 332nd Fighter Group. Selfridge says they will lead a discussion panel after the viewing of a short clip from a movie about the group’s triumphs while facing racism and segregation.
