"The crowd gasped as Bessie Coleman's plane buzzed right over their heads. Bessie could do just about any trick in an airplane, no matter how daring. But there was a time when she couldn't even take off or land. In 1920, she couldn't find an American pilot who would teach a black woman to fly. Bessie didn't take no for an answer. She went to France and became the first African American woman to earn a pilot's license. This is the inspiring story of one woman's fight for the freedom to soar through the skies."
