The Tutwiler was proud to host retired Tuskegee Airmen Colonel Roosevelt Lewis and Lieutenant Colonel Herbert Carter during their visit to the Magic City on March 29, 2012. Wells Fargo presented the heroes with a grant to the Tuskegee Chapter. The event included a panel discussion and a showing of Double Victory, the documentary companion to Red Tails.

The movie Red Tails hit theatres in January 2012 with a story about the struggles and triumphs of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first African American military pilots in the armed forces. The Tuskegee Airmen originated in Montgomery and Tuskegee, Alabama and this distinguished group of aviators has been consistently recognized for their valor and extraordinary combat record.

The Tutwiler was honored to accommodate these American heroes.

BASIC Program

A Major League Baseball hero came to Birmingham to support the American Baseball Foundation’s BASIC Program. As a proud sponsor of the American Baseball Foundation, the Tutwiler Hotel welcomed Andre Dawson to the Magic City on February 3, 2012. Dawson played 21 seasons of professional baseball and was inducted to the MLB Hall of Fame in 2010.

General Manager Robert Radice attended the Lead Off Dinner benefitting the BASIC Program, which works to inspire and motivate underserved children in Central Alabama through sports mentors and practical knowledge education. The American Baseball Foundation “strives to improve the community through the development of self confidence in academics as well as sports.”

Baseball icons Matt Downs, Ron Jackson, Steve Woodard and John Rocker were also in attendance. ABF’s Executive Director David Osinski says sports can become the vehicle that captures kids as avid readers. He says the BASIC curriculum “introduces underserved children to sports heroes from several countries in a combined classroom and ballpark environment.”
