Bessie Coleman 125th birthday | Google Doodle | Bessie Coleman Death
Please turn on subtitle.
The letters spelling Google were rendered in the vapor trails of swooping, looping biplanes in a Doodle marking what would be the 125th birthday of aviator Bessie Coleman, Thursday.
Coleman became the first female pilot of African-American descent, and also the first woman of Native American descent, to hold a pilot's license. And she soared despite the many forces attempting to ground her, Google writes on a page commemorating her life.
