Denied. Defied. Soared.

Before Amelia Earhart ever took flight, Bessie Coleman was already making history. Born in 1892 in Texas, she was the daughter of sharecroppers — one of thirteen children, picking cotton and helping her family make ends meet. Despite poverty and segregation, she had a mind for math, a hunger for independence, and a dream that reached far beyond the fields of Waxahachie.

When no flight school in the United States would accept her because she was both Black and a woman, Bessie refused to accept “no” as her ceiling. She learned French, saved every dollar she could, and sailed to France. In 1921 — at just 29 years old — she earned her international pilot’s license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, becoming America’s first Black woman pilot.

She returned home as a sensation — performing daring stunts, loops, and dives in airshows across the country, becoming one of the first female stunt pilots in America. But her mission was bigger than fame. She dreamed of opening a flight school for Black men and women, determined to make the skies open to everyone.

Tragically, she died in 1926 during a test flight, just as she was planning her aviation school. Yet her legacy lived on — inspiring the Tuskegee Airmen and generations of pilots who followed her path upward.

She didn’t just fly.
She proved we could all rise. ✈️
