内容概要

When Bessie Coleman was a child, she wanted to be in school --
not in the cotton fields of Texas, helping her family earn money.
She wanted to be somebody significant in the world. So Bessie did
everything she could to learn under the most challenging of
circumstances. At the end of every day in the fields she checked
the foreman's numbers -- made sure his math was correct. And this
was just the beginning of a life of hard work and dedication that
really paid off: Bessie became the first African-American to earn a
pilot's license. She was "somebody."
