MUSKOGEE, Okla. — Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. is expected to visit Green Country Saturday for a reunion screen of the film “Tuskegee Airmen.”

Muskogee’s historic Roxy Theatre is set to host the showing Saturday afternoon for local actors who took part in the film. Actors from Oklahoma and Arkansas who took part in the film will be in attendance along with Gooding Jr.

The 1995 award-winning classic was shot mostly in Muskogee. It depicts the true story of how a group of Black pilots overcame racist opposition to become one of the finest U.S. fighter groups in World War II.

The cast also includes stars Lawrence Fishburne and John Lithgow.
