charging through the tunnel and break through some sign or something like that. penn state came out arm in arm. walking together. showing that togetherness. speaking of togetherness, both teams came together and nebraska and penn state, for a pregame prayer and the heart of the pregame prayer was the victims. speaking of that a moment of silence for child abuse victims and one thing that's just incredible, $20,000 raised here at the stadium as fans just out of the generosity of their heart and they as well putting victim first give of their heart and give $20,000. that is a good thing. you know, i mentioned, fred, emotion right off the top. joe paterno doesn't take the sideline for the first time since 1966. head coach. his son, jay, did take the sideline. and he became emotional. after the game, during an interview, said dad, i wish you were here. and the tears began to flow. i can guarantee you there are probably tears in that locker room as tumultuous week comes to an end. >> you have to think this cloud of suspicion, this scandal,

certainly impacted the team today. the players. the distraction. how can they not be distract order that field? >> coach talked about that. tom bradley talked about how proud he was of his team and that they fought and hung in there and kept fighting through all of the distractions. football is an emotional game. you have to think that these are 18 to 22 23shgs-year-olds. emotionally they have to be spent. especially now with this all said and done. you wonder did it affect their play? i'm sure we will be hearing about that through the evening. >> thanks so much and appreciate that. our own mary snow. let's check in with her. earlier in the week we saw a different kind of expression. really, a kind of -- you know, range the gamut, expression of the students and student body, et cetera. how are things on campus today? >> reporter: you know, fredricka, fans going into that game said they just didn't know what to expect at the game.

they are coming out saying it was much more emotional than they anticipated. we have two fans here, matt o'brien, penn state alum and his fianeiance fiancee, jennifer. >>. you got teared up. >> i did. when they gathered before the game and kneeled down and praying or whatever they were doing, i got emotional. tear ran down my eyes. i wasn't expecting that. >> reporter: you have been a penn state student and graduated a couple of years ago. tell me about the mood. you have been to many games and lived here on campus. what was the mood? what are you find sng. >> the mood of the whole university, the whole campus was pretty somber today. it really started with senior day today. and the -- traditionally the -- team runs out on the field and they walked almost in unison, almost like marching out, in various somberly almost -- it was very somber. it was -- very -- very not

we are going to hope we can get a clearer listen to him. matthew, tell us what's taking place. >> reporter: there are thousands of people in the italian capital. pouring on to the streets of rome celebrating the departure of berlusconi from the office of prime minister. he has given his resignation within the last hour or so to the italian president. it is an enormous relief for many italians who had seen berlusconi as corrupted, chanting abuses, arrived at president's office earlier tonigh tonight. shouting he should go to prison. calling him a joker. he got aggressive and police were struggling to hold back the hundreds if not thousands, of people that gathered outside the presidential palace in rome to

witness him going in to hand his resignation. it got so bad no one actually saw him come out. he must have been sneaked out of a side entrance. it was just too hostile for him to walk out of that presidential office no longer the prime minister of the country. but once the news came through, as i say, wild celebrations continuing now into the night in the italian capital, fredricka. >> all right. matthew chance, thanks so much from rome. appreciate that. italian prime minister berlusconi now officially no longer has since now resigned. the tuskegee airmen now were the first to african military aviators in america's armed forces. close to 1,000 graduated from the elite pilot training during world war ii and at a time when the u.s. military was segregated. well, now, they are the subject of an upcoming film by george lucas called "red tails."

on the market now. a fantastic book. helping you get a better understanding of the tuskegee airmen. we are lucky enough to have two tuskegee airmen here and the authors. a tribute to the first air force top the guns. good to see all of you. fantastic. so this is really an extraordinary year where we are able to see -- and hear for the first time many of these very personal stories about your experiences, more than 60 years ago, as a tuskegee airman. we are l see it in january. this week we had a chance to see much of that in double victory. mr. hall, you first, you brought along a picture of you from 60 years ago. and as a tuskegee airman, active duty serviceman. what are you hoping is in this

documentary and is in this film that perhaps people have never known or understood about your experience? >> many people haven't heard about it for one thing. because nothing with b the tuskegee airmen is in any of the books in schools. you know. so the history books, kind of rare. as a matter of fact, when i was in grade school, i didn't see any colored people in the history books. i went home and asked my mother and father. i said, where are the black people? >> then you made history. >> yes. >> you are among those who made history. mr. archer, what are you hoping? i'm going to grab that photo for you. i'm going to hold it up if we can get another shot of it from one of the other cameras. what are you hope sing in the -- people will learn from these films, yes, entertainment, "red tails" in particular, it is a fictional story but it is based on fact. based on real experiences.

many of you were asked about your experiences so george lucas wanted to put them in that film. what are you hoping people will walk away knowing? >> i think an understanding that there are new possibilities for young people that -- if they can understand that it is possible they will achieve more. they will have -- be able to set goals and organize their -- their education and training and experiences. so that they can accommodate the opportunities. >> for a long time, people have felt that they -- there was a dearth of information about the tuskegee airmen, sacrifices, about the commitments. for a long time, you have been -- incredibly dedicated to piecing together a lot of these details and you have compiled it in your book. george lucas and others a part of the lucas film knew about that dedication. and they really turned to you to

find out more about the history of the tuskegee airmen and compiled that in this film. what are you most proud of with this documentary and this upcoming film? >> i'm proud that i did get to work on "double victory." i made a contribution. the thing is that as "red tails" comes out, it is a fictional account. the true men where the men are telling their own stories along with pictures you don't normally see will be displayed. so with "double victory," before seeing the movie they will get a true account. that's what is very important. >> i said it was -- an incredible year of compiling a lot of the stories and bringing it to the silver screen and the big screen. but really in the past couple of years, there's been 'greater amount of attention paid to the honoring of the tuskegee airmen, congressional gold medal you received a few years ago. you were invited do the presidential inauguration for the first time. what has it been like in the

past few years knowing that there has been this sort of attention being paid to the history and there has been a relearning of something that happened that you experienced 60 years ago? >> yes. this -- it is -- learning curve for us as well. and -- it is interesting to me to watch people today who are not familiar with our experience. to watch how they interpret and receive the information about our legacy and essentially -- inning to watch us watching them. i find some humor in that. >> do you? >> although it is -- it is very serious stuff. and -- depending on how well we received this new information and will say a lot about how the

next generation, generations, will interpret it and incorporate that into their experience. >> mr. hall, did you talk about it openly, share it all of your experiences or good -- bit of your experience was your family members? or are you similar to a number of tuskegee airmen that suppressed it and didn't share it because it was a very difficult time? >> i shared it with my family. we communicated, my father and i, and may mother passed away before i joined. but i think it is good for the children today to know something about the history of the black people. you know. and it encourages them to maybe seek higher levels of everything. >> you all have been ain't credible inspiration. thank you for sharing your stories and share your legacy. and i appreciate your time today, too. and we really thank you for your service. and your dedication, all of

these years. this is a t cover of your book. beautiful book. beautiful pictures. and great detail.
