"Bessie Coleman: First Negro Aviatrix"
Presented by: Tammy Denease, actor/storyteller
Tuesday, February 23, 2021, 6:00pm - Free Event on ZOOM
PictureClick to Enlarge
As Bessie Coleman, actor and storyteller Tammy Denease takes you on a journey into the world of the first black woman pilot.

You will take an international voyage that begins in the segregated south of the United States, where cotton was king and Jim Crow ruled underneath white sheets, where the color of your skin could determine whether you lived or died.

​Your journey ends in Paris, France, where
​self-determination — not skin color or gender — is what truly matters.

Sponsored by the Torrington Savings Bank.
