What I Had Heard Was

In this installment of our Women To Remember series we learn about Bessie Coleman, the only female aviatrix in the world at the time. Being of mixed race African American and Native American, her dreams of becoming a pilot were a seemingly impossible goal. With fierce determination and a bit of financial help, she shattered the glass ceiling. She left her mark both as an aviatrix and as an advocate.
