I decided blacks should not have to experience the difficulties I had faced, so I decided to open a flying school and teach other black women to fly.

Tell them that as soon as I can walk I'm going to fly!

I refused to take no for an answer.

The air is the only place free from prejudices.

I decided blacks should not have to experience the difficulties I had faced, so I decided to open a flying school and teach other black women to fly.
