Abbott Elementary star Sheryl Lee Ralph is taking her teaching gig seriously by lending her recognizable vocals to National Geographic‘s new hour-long special The Real Red Tails. Known for playing the beloved teacher Barbara Howard in ABC‘s Emmy-winning comedy, Ralph shines a light on a fascinating story about the discovery of a World War II-era P-39 airplane in Lake Huron, Michigan. The memory of Tuskegee pilot Frank Moody was revived as he perished in the crash connected to the plane in question. But beyond digging deeper into the mysteries that caused the crash, this documentary serves to remind viewers about the significance of what Moody and his fellow airmen accomplished by breaking racial barriers of the time. Ralph narrates the informative special, which also features first-hand accounts from some of the Tuskegee Airmen as the documentary delves into their history and the mission to solve the 80-year mystery revolving around Moody’s death.
