Bessie Coleman: From Daughter of Sharecroppers to Queen of Barnstormers | Odd Salon DAREDEVIL 5/7
Channel: Odd Salon
Date: 2017-11-26

Sometimes, defying the odds requires first defying the norms. In post-World Era I America, no man would dare to teach Bessie Coleman to fly, but that didn't stop her from becoming the world's first Black aviatrix and barnstormer. The things she dared to refuse to do also helped pave the way for all women and break down the barriers for future Black and Native American pilots.
