Bessie Coleman was the first woman of African-American descent, and the first of Native-American descent to hold a pilot license, becoming the first black woman to fly an airplane. U.S. flying schools denied her entrance so she taught herself French and moved to France, earning her license in just 7 months. She specialized in stunt flying and performing aerial tricks. Reading stories of WWI pilots sparked her interest in aviation. #BlackHistoryMonth | 6abc Action News
