6MEET BESSIE COLEMAN.
In 1915, Bessie Coleman lived in Chicago working
as a manicurist at the White Sox Barber Shop.
There, she heard stories of flying from pilots
returning home from World War I.
This interested Bessie so much that she traveled to
Paris to earn her pilot’s license. In 1921, she became
the first Black woman and first Native American to earn
an international aviation license. Bessie then returned to
America where she became a media sensation, often
being called “Queen Bess” and “Brave Bessie.”
Can you get Bessie Coleman from Chicago to Paris?

7WILLA BROWN &
THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN.
Willa Brown, an extraordinary
Chicagoan, was the very first
Black woman to earn a pilot’s
license in the United States.
In 1940, just before the U.S. entered World War II,
the country had a serious shortage of pilots. Willa
Brown had the answer: train young Black men to fly for
the military. Nearly 200 students she trained at her flight
school went on to join the Tuskegee Airmen, the first
Black fighter pilots and crew in the U.S. Army Air Corps.
MEET ELLEN OCHOA S O C H O A H V Y U
Ellen Ochoa was the first Hispanic
woman to go to space on a nine-day A P H I S P A N I C
mission aboard the Space Shuttle
Discovery in 1993. She was also the first E S A F J X V I I G

On June 19, 1865, a declaration of freedom was issued in Galveston,
Texas — freeing the last Black Americans who were still enslaved after the
Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.
Juneteenth is now a federal holiday and the City of Chicago celebrates
this monumental moment in history on June 19. This holiday gives all
Americans the opportunity to celebrate Black culture, recognize the
progress made in securing civil rights for Americans, and reflect on the
work that still must be done.
