Bessie Coleman - Aviation Daredevil and Pioneer

Bessie Coleman was a trailblazer of the Aviation industry. Before Amelia Earhart was a household name, Bessie was defying the odds as the first African American Woman to become a pilot, and then went on to be a stunt pilot. Bessie’s courage and determination to succeed saw her achieve greatness despite the racism and discrimination she faced to get there. Not only was she enormously successful, she was always looking out for her community and was inspired to do what she could to help the next ranks of African American pilots to take to the skies. She is an absolute legend and her story is nothing short of inspiring.
