AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would allow Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. to build a memorial on federal land in Washington, D.C., or the surrounding area to honor the original Tuskegee Airmen who served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. The memorial would have to follow the federal Commemorative Works Act.
