A resolution honoring aviatrix pioneer Bessie Coleman will be presented by the Jacksonville City Council. We are asking that you come out and support this historical recognition. Bessie “Queen Bess” Coleman was the first Black female to fly an airplane. She received an international pilot’s license from France and learned to stunt fly in Germany. Bessie was tragically flung from her airplane at 2,000 feet up on April 30, 1926 in Jacksonville, Florida - one day before an airshow she was to headline. The information for this occasion is as follows: DATE: Tuesday August 27, 2013 TIME: 5pm PLACE: Jacksonville City Council Chambers at 117 West Duval St., Suite 425 To have a seat reserved, please contact Opio Sokoni at politainment1@gmail. *To keep up with all information and the latest on our efforts to properly honor Bessie Coleman, go to bessiecolemanflyingtheblues.blogspot.
