Bessie Coleman: A Biography Bessie Coleman, the first African American female pilot in the United States, was born in Texas, in

1892, to an African American mother and a father of Native American and African American descent. Bessie had a difficult childhood because her parents were poor and she had twelve siblings. When Bessie was still young, her father left the family and went to Oklahoma for work. Her mother then took care of the entire family. After Bessie graduated from school, she went to Langston University. However, insufficient funds forced her to drop out of university after the first term. While still in her early twenties, Bessie moved to Chicago to live with her brothers. She developed an interest in flying after hearing inspiring stories about the Wright brothers and World War l pilots. Bessie dreamed of becoming a pilot herself. However, for African American women, becoming a pilot in those days was like going through the eye of a needle. American flying schools would not admit her.

In a few months, she made history by being the first African American woman to earn an international pilot's license. Bessie returned to the United States and performed many stunts to earn money. She hoped to start a flying school for African Americans. Before she could realize her dream, Bessie died in 1926, when she was only 34, while practicing for a performance. Even after her death, Bessie continues to be an inspiration for women. 10 Why does the author compare Bessie Coleman with Rosa Parks?

How does the poem grieved lands of Africa by Agostinho Neto portray the circumstances of Africans before and now
sweet [91]

The Grieved Lands is poem of 42 lines with seven uneven stanzas. It is a free verse. The Grieved Lands presents the uniqueness of Black race and their resistance to slavery and colonial rule. It belongs to the group of poems which advance the unique beauty of the Black race and the dominant strength of being Black. The poet draws from the realistic nature of Negritude (a movement which celebrates and promotes the uniqueness and dominance of Black race to other races popularly propagated by Leopald Sedar Senghor).

In the poem, The Grieved Lands the poet presents African race as an imperishable race and African land as a land that can withstand anything; Lines 40 -41.

The first three stanzas talk about the degradation of Africa by slavery, imperialism, colonialism and Westernization. The poet uses these stanzas to decry the effects of Western influence on Africa. Line 2 “In the tearful woes of ancient and modern slave” In this line, the “ancient” refers to the physical slavery when men and women were forcefully moved out of the Land of Africa to different parts of the world. The “modern slave” refers to the present psychological and mental slavery in Africa and among Blacks, where Africans or Blacks depend on the West for aids and solutions. This is seen as the psychological acceptance of Western values, culture – dressing, lifestyle etc as the standard of measuring success and achievement.
