Portia Washington's 99th Pursuit Wings, for the Tuskegee Airmen. They're
"hotter than a spitfire" (courtesy of The African American Heritage Cookbook). #BlackFriday #tuskegeeairmen #spicywings #recipe #AfricanAmericanCuisine #wings #BlackMastodon

Portia Washington, Booker T. Washington's daughter, used to entertain the new Tuskegee Airmen's 99th Pursuit Squadron (feared by the Germans, who called them the Schwartze Vogelmenschen, the Black Birdmen).

She'd serve them her spicy chicken wings she called the 99th Pursuit Wings. Give these a try for your Super Bowl party. (Recipe to follow) #BlackFriday #tuskegeeairmen
