## Caption

RIP🙏🏾 to Alfred Thomas Farrar, a former #TuskegeeAirman, who died at age 99 on Thursday at his home in Lynchburg, Virginia, just days before a ceremony was planned to honor his service in the program that famously trained Black military pilots during #WWII. He would have turned 100 years old on Dec. 26. ⁠
