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.

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.
