Tuskegee Airman Harold H. Brown Memorial
Scholarship
The Liberty Aviation Museum, located in Port Clinton, Ohio, has an opportunity for you to honor one of the most
important and influential men in the military and education, Lt. Col. Harold H. Brown. As one of the Tuskegee Airmen, Harold H. Brown made history as a combat pilot during World War II. He was not
only an airman, but also as an educator; one of the fathers of the two-year college option, giving young students new
confidence toward stellar careers. Harold passed away in 2023 at the age of 98, but his legacy lives on.
Now, The Liberty Aviation Museum and you have the honor and opportunity to help preserve Harold's legacy by donating to the Harold H. Brown Tuskegee Airman Memorial Scholarship.
Click Here for more information and to make a donation today. And, thank you.
