Why did the Civil War soldier behind this letter want to lead an African-American unit? If these are really the signatures of Charles Lindbergh and helicopter inventor Igor Sikorsky, what aircraft did this fabric come from? And, did African-American artists create this 1950s comic book, "Negro Romance"?

Tuesday at 8 p.m. on PBS-HD.
