March is Women’s History Month. Today we honor: Bessie Coleman. Bessie Coleman was the world’s first licensed black aviator, making her a pioneer as both an African-American and a woman. After failing to find anyone in the United States who would teach aviation to a black woman, she moved to Paris, where she received her pilot’s license, and begun her career as a stunt pilot.
