Join us on February 20 at 12:00pm in person or online for our Food for Thought lecture!

Pia Marie Winters Jordan will discuss her book, Memories of a Tuskegee Airmen Nurse and Her Military Sisters. The book focuses on the period from 1942 to 1946, when up to twenty-eight African American women from the Army Nurse Corps staffed the station hospital at the base where future Tuskegee Airmen trained. These nurses, graduates of nursing schools across the U.S., were registered nurses and commissioned lieutenants in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps. Their contributions, often overlooked, are a significant part of the broader narrative of African American women’s service during World War II.

The lecture will be held in the ADAH’s Joseph M. Farley Auditorium. It will stream live on Facebook and YouTube, and a recording will be available after the program. Admission is FREE. Food for Thought 2025 is sponsored by the Alabama Humanities Alliance and the Friends of the Alabama Archives.
