This article from the National Parks Service describes the events that occured in the Freeman

Parrish’s racially fair actions were for the time. The refusal of the Tuskegee Airmen to remain
content with the mistreatment and their actions were the precursor to the sit ins of the Civil Rights
movement of the 1960s. This contributes to the long list of evidence that points toward their
importance in the movement for racial equality as a whole.
