(Women's History Month) Remembering History-making Pilot, Bessie Coleman (1892 - 1926)

 🛫Bessie Coleman (1892- 1926) wanted to become a pilot, but she was not allowed to attend flight school in the United States because of her race and gender. Coleman’s tenacious spirit motivated her to save money; learn French; and travel to France in order to obtain an aviator’s license. Later, she became the first African-American woman in the world to obtain a pilot’s license. She also became the first African-American person to get an international aviation license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. #BlackHistoryGuardians #WomensHistoryMonth #NoWomenNoWorld 💛❤️🖤💚
