Bessie Coleman: Fearless Skies

By Bright Stephen

BESSIE COLEMAN: Fearless Skies

Bessie Coleman was never meant to fly-at least, that's what society told her. Born in 1892 to a family of sharecroppers in the segregated South, she faced racial and gender barriers that made her dream of becoming a pilot seem impossible. But Bessie refused to accept limits. When no American flight school would admit her because she was Black and a woman, she traveled to France, earning her place in history as the first African American woman to receive a pilot's license.

From dazzling stunt performances to her relentless fight for equal opportunities in aviation, Bessie Coleman: Fearless Skies tells the inspiring story of a woman who refused to take "no" for an answer. With courage, determination, and an unshakable belief in herself, Bessie soared beyond prejudice and paved the way for future generations of Black aviators.

Her legacy lives on in every pilot who dares to dream and in every person who refuses to let barriers define their future. This book is a tribute to the woman who proved that the sky has no limits.
