>> Look up the aim high, soaring with the Tuskegee Airman Exhibit is flying high at the Chicago Children's Museum.

The Interactive Space encourages play as a tool to learn.

So kids can imagine themselves as little aviators as they learn more about black heroes in aviation and aerospace.

>> Had literally thousands of kids and families across Chicagoland.

been able to enjoy not only the opportunity to learn about the science of aviation, aeronautics and astronautics, but to also be able to learn about the history of the Tuskegee Airman since we've opened this exhibit, the reception has been incredibly enthusiastic and warm from no to Chicagoans like John Rogers Jr, whose father was a Tuskegee Airmen all the way young children and school groups across Chicagoland who have made their way to the museum.

It is an amazing opportunity for young people to be able to see themselves.

Astronauts as aviators as people who may go into careers in the aerospace industry and this particularly being anchored and an exhibit around black voices and black history in that field is especially meaningful.

We have seen people want did a rewrite history and make it less than factual.

So to have a space where black children can come and see people who look like them with melanin on the record, not just out in the street or playing basketball, whatever the popular press would like to depict black people is doing but to see them as historical figures going into outer space as historical figures fighting in the military as historical figures who wore aviators.

Scientists true heroes, American heroes.

We say people like Ronald McNair who was on that ill-fated mission on the challenger in 1986.

We also see regular quote, unquote, black faces like the first all-black female crew of flight attendants history us past.

But the future is still to be shaped.

And so this is a place where we want play and learning to connect so that the bright young minds of tomorrow will find their place.

And the story of human progress.
