飛機的型號為PT-13D Stearman Kaydet，它又被稱為“Tuskegee精神”。 從1944年到1946年，在Moton Field，它被用來訓練非洲裔美國空軍。在二戰期間，這項阿拉巴馬州的設施是唯一一項非裔美國人的飛行訓練設施。
The PT-13D Stearman Kaydet, shown above and known as the 'Spirit of Tuskegee', was used to train African American airmen from 1944 to 1946 at Moton Field, the Alabama facility that served as the only primary flight-training site for African Americans in the Army Air Forces during WWII.

跟據美國人口調查局的數據，2016年美國境內有約7450萬名非裔美國人，佔美國人口17.9個巴仙，是美國第二大群的少數族裔。（最大群：德裔美國人）在博物館開幕時，前美國總統奧巴馬致詞時引用了已故非裔美國作家詹姆斯·亞瑟·鮑德溫（James Arthur Baldwin）的文字：不論我們如何受苦，如何喜樂，如何無法得到新的榮耀，我們的故事定必要被聽見。（原文：”For while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard.”）這提醒了人們歷史的重要性，而且不論這些故事是光明的，還是黑暗的，我們都有義務把它承傳下來。
According to the data of United States Census bureau, there are around 74.5 million African American citizens in the U.S., with a proportion of 17.9% of the entire population. It is the second largest group of ethnic minority in America. (the largest: German American) In the opening ceremony of the museum, former U.S. president Obama quoted from James Arthur Baldwin (African American composer), ”For while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard” . This reminds people the value of history and that we are obligated to pass on the old tales, either bright or dark.
