Although Bessie didn't live to fulfill her dream of opening a flight school, her determination and resilience inspired others to pursue their aspirations. Her remarkable journey not only challenged the prejudices of the time but also paved the way for future generations of aviators, leaving a lasting impact on the history of aviation. 7/8 #BlackHistory  #BlackMastodon  #histodons #History #Aviation
