The air is the only place free from prejudices.
Meaning of the quote
When you're up in the air, flying high, there's no room for prejudices or unfair judgments. The sky is a place where everyone is equal, and it doesn't matter what your background is or how you look. It's a space where you can just be yourself, without worrying about others' biases or preconceptions. The air is a truly free and open environment, where the only thing that matters is your skill and passion for flight.
About Bessie Coleman
Bessie Coleman was an early American civil aviator, the first African-American woman and first Native American to hold a pilot’s license. She earned her license in France in 1921 and became a high-profile pilot in the US, known as ‘Queen Bess’ and ‘Brave Bessie’. Sadly, she died in a plane crash in 1926, but her pioneering role inspired early pilots and her communities.
