Tuskegee Airman Victor Ransom: Village Inn Englishtown, NJ

While you may have seen the movie about the brave Tuskegee pilots who fought in WWII combat, Mr. Victor "Vic" Ransom is best known for being a part of the Freeman Field incident where he and his fellow pilots were denied entry to the officers club because of their color.  They stood their ground to gain access and allowed themselves to be arrested by the military police for such a horrible “rule”.  He will provide an incredible narrative of an act of bravery in the Civil Rights movement.Village Inn, 1 Water Street, Englishtown, NJ 07726http://www.thevillageinn.org(Parking is available across the street)
