Bessie Coleman: Fearless & Free

  • When: Saturday, November 15, 2025 - All Day Event
  • Location: Children's Theatre of Charlotte - 300 E 7th Street Charlotte, NC 28202

For one weekend only! The inspiring story of the aviation pioneer in her formative years. See Bessie Coleman soar in the sky and into your hearts.

Born into a family of sharecroppers, Elizabeth Coleman’s life took root in the field but ascended to unbelievable heights in the sky. One of 13 siblings, Bessie weathered segregation, racism, and financial barriers before cementing her place as a pioneer in the field of aviation. Far above the clouds, where “the air is the only place free from prejudice,” she blazed a path as Queen Bess, the first African-American woman and first woman of Native-American descent to hold a pilot’s license.
