BESSIE COLEMAN QUOTES:
“I knew we had no aviators, neither men nor women, and I knew the Race needed to be represented along this most important line, so I thought it my duty to risk my life to learn aviation,”

 “The air is the only place free from prejudices.”

Here is a small Blog for Ellis County Texas story on this amazing woman.
