The Sneak Out Program: One
Community’s Rebellion for Better
Education
This California Report special documents the
little-known but compelling story of a young
mother who, in the 1960s, organized a program
that secretly sent poor African American
children from East Palo Alto to live with white
families in affluent Palo Alto so they could
attend better schools. And as with most
rebellions, this one came with sacrifices.To
really understand the passion behind this act
of civil disobedience in California, the program
goes back in time, recalling an era when few
people cared that separate was unequal.

The Last Letter Home
The Last Letter Home is a poignant retelling
of the World War II experience of the 332nd
fighter group, also known as the Tuskegee
Airmen. Producer and host Donnie L. Betts
re-creates this powerful tale through a fictional
fighter pilot who, in a letter to his mother,
describes how he hopes to drop Mein Kampf
on Hitler’s office in Berlin as the United States
bombs the city.
The Tuskegee Airmen overcame
segregation and prejudice to become one of
the most highly respected fighter groups of
World War II. They proved conclusively that
African Americans could fly and maintain
sophisticated combat aircraft, a truth doubted
by many in the military. Their achievements,
together with the men and women who supported them, paved the way for full integration
of the U.S. military. The Last Letter Home also
features an interview with retired Lt. Col. John
Mosley, a very real member of the Tuskegee
Airmen, as well as period music by awardwinning composer Joe Bonner.
