«Speaker Pelosi just broke: one of our last survivors of the «Tuskegee airmen» (approx. — the informal name of a group of military airmen-blacks who fought in the Second world war); the surviving child, born on the 21st week; the reunion of a soldier with his family. This is her legacy,» reads a tweet from the White house.
