Bessie Coleman - An American LegacyIt's all about Elizabeth "Queen Bessie" Coleman - an American Icon! In the early 1900's, she refused to accept "no" as an answer to her request to learn to fly an airplane.

As a result, on June 15, 1921, she became the first American of any race or gender to earn an International Pilots License. Read More.
