Willie Slater is a fan of the 2012 movie “Red Tails.” The athletic director and football coach at Tuskegee University said the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, upon which the movie is based, is amazing.

“I have that plane, a picture of it, in my office,” he said.

Sunday, Sept. 5, Slater and his Golden Tigers football squad will pay tribute to the Black World War II Army Air Forces servicemen when they take on Fort Valley State in the Red Tails Classic at Montgomery’s Cramton Bowl. Kickoff is 6 p.m. and the game will be nationally broadcast on ESPNU.
