The day before an airshow, her mechanic William Wills was flying an airplane. Bessie was going over the plane and had no seatbelt on. A wrench got into the gearbox and jammed it, causing the plane to taildive and crash. Bessie fell 1500 feet and died. :(

Bessie Coleman faced with having a poor family because she had to work long hard days for only 4-8 dollars a month! She also missed collage because she ran out of money 2)She was also an African American woman and many places din't accept her for being black. 3)ALSO her dream of opening a flying school for black people din't come true because she died. Nobody really knows why some people say she felt out from her plane but nobody found her plane. I HOPE THIS HELPS :D Sincerely- Karen
