Bessie Colemen was a sharecroppers' daughter who had dreams bigger than her home state of Texas could hold. Bessie became interested in aviation in her early 20s, but as an African American woman, she was denied admission to flight schools. She eventually learned to fly in France. In 1921, she became the first African American female pilot and the first to have an international aviation license.
