After being rejected from American aviation schools because of her race and gender, Bessie Coleman taught herself French and went to Europe to receive her international pilot’s license. She paved the way for a flying school in her name after her untimely death. #BlackHistoryMonth

Take it from a career airline pilot, European licensing is much, much more demanding than getting a license in the US. Amazing woman, amazing accomplishments!
