To celebrate Black History Month today we recognize Bessie Coleman.
Bessie Coleman was an American aviator and the first black woman to earn a pilot's license. Because flying schools in the United States denied her entry, she taught herself French and moved to France, earning her license from France's well-known Caudron Brother's School of Aviation in just seven months. Coleman specialized in stunt flying and parachuting, earning a living barnstorming and performing aerial tricks. She remains a pioneer of women in the field of aviation.

Roger Terry was one of the Tuskegee Airmen. He served in the US Army Corps in World War II. In 1945 he was stationed at Freeman Field, Indiana, where he was excluded from the “whites only” officers club. Despite the military ordering the desegregation of recreational facilities about two years before the 477th arrived at Freeman Field, Terry and his fellow Tuskegee Airmen and support staff found segregation nonetheless. He was discharged for not obeying orders and later received support from the 477th Air Force to officially remove his letters of reprimand from his permanent file and received full pardon and restoration of rank.

National African American History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S History. The celebration of Black History Month grew out of “Negro History Week” started by Carter G. Woodson. Since 1976, February has officially been designated as Black History Month.
Each school day during this month SHMS we will showcase an influential African American who has made an impact in society.
