Bessie Coleman traveled to France in 1921 at the age of 29. She went there to pursue her dream of becoming a licensed aviator, as no flight schools in the United States would accept her due to her race and gender. In France, she successfully earned her pilot's license, becoming the first African American woman to do so.
