Watch: The Tuskegee Airmen Visit the White House

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama invited a group of retired Tuskegee Airmen to the White House to screen for a very special screening of "Red Tails," a new film that tells the Tuskegee story. The Airmen are African American veterans who overcame segregation and prejudice to become one of the most highly respected fighter groups of World War II, and helped pave the way for full integration of the U.S. military.
