This interpretation fails to mention, though, that women including Mary McLeod Bethune, Eleanor Roosevelt, Willa Beatrice Brown, and Mildred Hemmons Carter were critical to the existence of the airmen.

In this tight economic environment for schools, the outing was a commendable attempt to expose boys of color to positive media images. Sadly they were too short sighted to recognize the irony of their decision. The Tuskegee Airmen were not allowed to fight alongside their white counterparts due to segregation and discrimination. The school district basically did the same to the girls.

We shall continue to strengthen and enhance our links with the University of Guam and Guam Community College to carry out our mission. Furthermore, we reaffirm our commitment to our outreach activities on Guam and elsewhere in the Pacific-Asia region. All of us are honored to be a part of the AAUW Family. Si Yu’os Ma’ase’.

Indeed sacrifices must be made but hopefully the bulk of it won’t be thrown to those that are more in need.
