The 1st African American Woman to become a pilot

BESSIE COLEMAN

In the history of flight pioneers, school children learn about the Wright brothers, Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. But Bessie Coleman, a woman whose name may not be as well-known, is no less seminal in the history of aviation and civil rights. A

black woman who was born only a few decades after slavery was abolished, she made history as the first African-American woman to become a pilot. She was born in Texas in 1892, one of 13 children with sharecropper parents. After hearing stories from pilots returning from the first World War, she set her sights on flying. At 23, she moved to Chicago to live with her brothers, but flight schools in the U.S. did not admit women or people of color. She was undeterred. After she received financial backing from African American banker Jesse Binga, she moved to Paris. In France, she earned her pilot’s license within one year. When she returned to the U.S., Coleman made a name for herself as a stunt pilot. Known as Queen Bess, she wowed audiences with her tricks and, sometimes, parachute jumping. “I knew we had no aviators, neither men nor women, and I knew the Race needed to be represented along this most important line, so I thought it my duty to risk my life to learn aviation,” Coleman said. “The air is the only place free from prejudices.” An Excerpt from Who Is Bessie Coleman?

Leader: Give and it will be given you; good measure pressed down shaken together, running over will be put into your lap. People: For the measure you give will be the measure you get back Leader: Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal. People: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust consume and where thieves do not break in and steal. Unison: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
