History
Elizabeth “Bessie” Coleman, called Queen Bess, was the first African-American woman to become an pilot and the first American of any race or gender to obtain an international pilot’s license. Unfortunately, I had never heard of this incredible woman until I started working in an aviation museum as an adult. I hope these books will enable your children to learn about this amazing human being who struggled with adversity to obtain her goals.
