Bessie Coleman biography

3 stars

3.5 stars. I just happened to be in the middle of reading Great Circle, about fictional aviator Marian Graves, when I saw a reference to Bessie Coleman's birthday and decided that I should learn more about her. Considering what this book is - i.e., a youth/student-level biography - I think it's pretty good. Among other things, it includes a thoughtful discussion of systemic racism.
