Final Thoughts

Bessie Coleman was a brave woman.I really like the fact that she was the first African Amercian to fly an Airplane.Coleman's main goals when she returned to America were to make a living flying and to establish the first African American flight school.  Because of her color and gender, however, she was somewhat limited in her first goal.

Contribution ;*

Bessie Coleman was the first African American to earn an international pilot's license. She dazzled crowds with her stunts at air shows and refused to be slowed by racism... Bessie Coleman was born on January 26, 1892, in a one-room, dirt-floored cabin in Atlanta, Texas, to George and Susan Coleman, the illiterate (unable to read and write) children of slaves. When Bessie was two years old, her father, a day laborer, moved his family to Waxahachie, Texas, where he bought a quarter-acre of land and built a three-room house in which two more daughters were born.Bessie Coleman did not inven anything.Bessie Coleman was the first African American to fly a Airplane.

Hello,my name is Yakaira Mariano I'm13 years old my birthday is on August 26,i am into dancing,singing,& etc.... I am researching Bessie Coleman for Women's History Month. I see Women's role in society to be very important because back in the days they treated ladies like nothing, they couldnt work they were treated way different from men.Some things I wonder about are: Why were ladies treated so different from men back then? I also wonder why  ladies had to be house wifes meaning they only stood home taking care of their children & cleaning?
