Freeman Field Mutiny, Civil rights protest site at Freeman Army Airfield in Seymour, Indiana.
The Freeman Field Mutiny involved African American officers from the 477th Bombardment Group who challenged military segregation at an Indiana air base in 1945.
The arrest of 162 African American officers for attempting to enter a white officers' club resulted in changes that advanced racial integration in the United States military.
The actions of the Tuskegee Airmen at Freeman Field demonstrated the determination of African American service members to obtain equal treatment in military facilities.
The Freeman Army Airfield Museum at 1035 A Avenue in Seymour, Indiana presents exhibits about the 1945 military protest and its impact.
The Air Force cleared the records of the arrested officers in 1995, including removing reprimands and overturning the court-martial conviction of Roger Terry.
