Bessie Coleman was the first female African Americ Bessie Coleman was the first female African American pilot. She was also the first female pilot with Native American ancestry. Because commercial flying was not commonplace at the time, her career centered around stunt flying. She was most well-known for “loop-the-loops” and figure “8” s.  In 1915, at the age of 23, she left Oklahoma and moved in with her brothers in Chicago.  While there she would hear stories from returning World War I pilots, sparking her interest in becoming a pilot. She applied to flight schools all over the country but was denied admittance because she was both African American and a woman. A prominent African American publisher named Robert Abbott caught wind of her story and financed her trip to France for training.  Coleman returned to the United States with her international pilot’s license in 1921. She then became the first female African American to perform a public flight in 1922. She would grow in popularity in both the U.S. and Europe. She survived her first major crash in 1923 with a broken leg, cracked ribs, and cuts and bruises. This, of course, did not stop her from getting back into the air.  Coleman dreamed of inspiring more young African Americans to fly and starting her own flight school. Sadly, this dream would not be realized. In 1926, while flying with a mechanic named William D. Wills, the plane experienced a mechanical failure and control was not regained. Her untimely death may not have allowed her to realize the dream of establishing a flight school, but her life and achievements did inspire many men and women to follow their dreams.

Frederick Douglas, one of the leaders of the aboli Frederick Douglas, one of the leaders of the abolitionist movement, was born around 1818. Being born into slavery, he did not know his actual birthday but decided later in life to celebrate it on February 14. Over the course of his life he would advise presidents and give talks on various topics and causes. His writings include the well-known “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, an American Slave”.  Despite the ban on teaching slaves to read, Douglas was taught the alphabet by the wife of a plantation owner. From there, he taught himself to read and shared this knowledge with many other enslaved people. After two attempts, he was able to escape slavery aided by a free Black woman named Anna Murray, who would later become his wife.  After marrying, he and Anna settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts where he was encouraged by new friends to become a speaker and leader in the abolitionist movement. He would go on to write five autobiographies, include women’s rights in his efforts, and produce his own abolitionist newspaper called “The North Star.” Douglas’s life began in slavery, but he would go on to serve in prominent political positions including ambassador to the Dominican Republic.

Within the Town Park and on the Boardwalks, trash cans will be moved a short distance closer to parking and congregation areas. We’ll also be making more use of the solar powered trash and recycling compactors in these spots.
.
This process will include the installation of signage this spring to guide users to the nearest container. This signage will foster the Leave No Trace principle and ask everyone to carry their trash a short distance to a can in an area aimed to reduce overflow and windblown litter.

Madam C.J. Walker, born Sarah Breedlove, was the first African American woman to become a self-made millionaire. This achievement was made through the creation of a line of hair care products designed for African American women. Walker was born in 1867 to newly freed slaves. She had one child, A’Leila, with her first husband in 1885. Following his death, they moved to St. Louis where she would meet her second husband, Charles J. Walker. He worked in advertising and helped her to promote her business. He also encouraged her to sell her product under the more recognizable name of “Madam C.J. Walker”. Over time the company grew, and Walker opened a factory and beauty school in Pittsburgh, PA. She would later move operations to Indianapolis, IN where the training of sales beauticians was added to the operation. Business continued growing and she became an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance. Read more about Madam C.J. Walker, her life, and legacy at bit.ly/3dBtd1H ... See MoreSee Less
