The mission of George S. Lima Foundation is to introduce inner-city youth ages 13-15 to Aviation, Film-making, Radio and Television production. Visit our website GeorgesLimaFoundation.org for more information.
The George S. Lima Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to empowering minority youth through education. George S. Lima Foundation (formerly Black Air Foundation) is the brainchild of George S. Lima (1919-2011), whose remarkable experiences as a “Tuskegee Airman” came to the attention of the public in the documentary “BlackMenCanFly”.
Building on this theme, “Flight” symbolizes a youth’s opportunity to advance socially and economically. “Air” is more than just the space around us, but the medium, or media, through which we communicate. Lima wanted it to be known that not just Black men, but “Black kids can fly” too!
As such, the vision for the Foundation includes career opportunities for youth in the fields of aviation, radio, television and filmmaking.
