[b]A First in the Air[/b]
1
Bessie Coleman was born tenth in a family of thirteen children. She grew up in Texas in the early 1900s. During this time, there was little opportunity in the South for African Americans. Jobs were sometimes difficult to find. Therefore, Bessie moved north to live in Chicago with her two brothers. Once in Chicago, Bessie soon found work in a barbershop and began her dream of a better life.
2
Bessie's brother John had been to France during World War I. When he returned, he inspired her with exciting stories about women in France becoming pilots. Being a pilot was interesting to Bessie, and she decided she wanted a new job. She would learn to fly airplanes.
3
In 1918 there were no African-American female pilots in the United States. Becoming a pilot, she thought, would make her different. However, all of the flying schools Bessie tried to enter turned her away. Yet Bessie did not give up. A friend suggested she go to France and learn to fly. He helped her raise money for the trip and for flying lessons.
4
Bessie went to France in 1919. The plane that she was trained to fly was difficult to operate, but Bessie was determined. She finished the flying classes in seven months and received her flying license. Bessie was the first African-American woman to do so.
5
A few months later, Bessie returned home. Many stories were written in newspapers about her flying skills. She had learned how to do loops, spins, and dives with her plane. However, she wanted to compete with other pilots because they could do stunts that were even more exciting. Bessie wanted to be successful, so she went back to France for more training. On September 3, 1922, she was ready. Her first air show was in New York City. Bessie astonished the crowd with her amazing tricks. Soon she was performing at flying shows all over the country. Her flying career was a success.
6
Bessie Coleman has been [u]honored[/u] in many ways since that day. In Chicago an airport road is named after her, and there is even a picture of her on a [u]stamp[/u]. Bessie probably would have been happiest about the flying clubs named after her. Bessie's dream was to have more African Americans learn to fly. These clubs gave African Americans the training to become pilots. Clubs like this made her dream come true.
