What a truly brave and inspirational young lady. To fight racism and feminism all her life in the pursuit of equality took both strength and courage. Such a tragic end for such a pioneering lady. Excellent piece of research Aryn and wonderfully well written her legacy loves on.

Wow, inspiring… 🥹 “she declared her ambitions to become a pilot, and to, “make Uncle Tom’s cabin into a hanger for a flying school.” Her flying school.”

Thanks for this very well written account about Bessie. What an amazing person she was. And just think what else she may have achieved had she not met such an untimely death.

I was thinking about that as I wrote about her death. She is so fascinating. If I could write a bio pic film, she would be an amazing person to feature.
