Meet Bessie Coleman, a Chicagoan til Chicago ends, and the first African American woman to become a licensed aviator.
She moved to the crib in 1916 when she was 23 and was a manicurist in the Whites Sox Park barber shop (Good Guys Wear Black). Intrigued by the WW1 pilot’s who shared their stories she decided, she wanted to fly. But, being a woman & black in the States it wasn’t gone happen.
Robert Abbot, founder of the Chicago Defender (that would be a good post too) convinced Bessie to follow her dream. She went to France and got busy!
