Pioneer pilot still inspires
From Mattel to the U.S. Mint, Bessie Coleman remains an icon
BY EMMA QUEDZUWEIT
" WE MUST HAVE AVIATORS if we are to keep up with the
times, " said pioneering pilot Bessie Coleman, and she
certainly led by example. A century later she is still
inspiring pilots around the world, and some of the latest
in her line of honors come from unusual places.
When discrimination in the United States kept
34
Coleman from attending flight school, she learned to speak
French, went to France for training, and earned her license in
1921, becoming the first African American and Native American
woman pilot, and the first African American to earn an international pilot's license.
As of January 2023, Coleman and her Curtiss Jenny are now featured on a new
quarter design released by the U.S. Mint, the sixth coin in the American Women
Quarters Program; a four-year program which " celebrates the accomplishments
and contributions made by women of the United States. " Also in January, Mattel
unveiled a Bessie Coleman doll as part of its
Barbie Signature Inspiring Women series,
which highlights role-model historical
women,
including astronaut Sally Ride,
anthropologist Jane Goodall, medical pioneer
Florence Nightingale, journalist Ida Wells, and
more. The Bessie Coleman doll displays the
traditional olive-green aviator suit, and the
cap with wings and initials as pictured in her
iconic photograph-ready to inspire the next
generation of children with dreams of flight.
