Aviation Museum to Host Live Performance About Bessie Coleman

Bessie Coleman

By Press Release

CAPE MAY – Join the NASW Aviation Museum June 21 at 7 p.m., for a live performance with Daisy Century as Bessie Coleman, a first-person living history presentation. Ms. Century will perform the life of the first African American woman to earn her pilot’s license.
In 1921, Bessie Coleman became the first African American woman to earn her pilot’s license. She never let other people define her limitations, she traveled to France to learn to fly when American flight schools refused her because of her race. In later years, she shared her experiences with children, encouraging them with the words, You Too Can Fly.
