For many years, Martin has been dedicated to interviewing soldiers and civilians who suffered and persevered during World War II to ensure that their stories are not forgotten.

Tonight Martin will present his filmed interview with Alexander Jefferson, who served with the Tuskegee Airmen as a fighter pilot, flying the P-51 and the P-47. Lt. Jefferson flew many combat missions before being shot down over Southern France in August, 1944. He was a POW at Stalag Luft III, the setting of the 1963 film The Great Escape. During his incarceration Jefferson endured a horribly cold forced march ahead of the Russian Army and upon his release he witnessed the horrors of Dachau. He survived to return to Detroit where he taught science to elementary school students.

A Q & A session on anything related to WWII will follow the screening.
