Today is the 125th birthday of Bessie Coleman! In honor of her birthday, she is featured as today's Google Doodle. She was an American civil aviator and the first African-American woman to hold a pilot license.
We have set up a little display in our library to celebrate Bessie's life along with other African-American women that have been "first" and other first women.
Some of the women included in our display...Mae Jemison, Amelia Earhart, Melba Liston, Wilma Rudolph, Venus and Serena Williams
