The Life of Bessie Coleman (Legendary African Americans)

The Life of Bessie Coleman (Legendary African Americans)
- Enslow Publishers
Author Connie Plantz captures all the tension and excitement of Colemanâ€™s soaring achievements. From an early age, Bessie Coleman dreamed of flying, but racial bigotry and gender bias threatened to keep her grounded. Denied entrance to flight training school in the United States, Coleman went to Europe. She returned, triumphant, with a pilotâ€™s license and hopes of opening a flight school for African Americans. Raising funds as a stunt pilot, â€œBrave Bessieâ€ thrilled her audiences with aerial tricks. Colemanâ€™s life ended in a tragic accident, but not before her dream of flight made aviation history.
