I saw a post on FB about an African-American woman who wanted to be a pilot. She was not allowed, so she learned French and moved to France where she became a celebrated pilot. Amongst her contributions, it listed “She refused to participate in air shows that banned African Americans.” Wait, what? She boycotted places that wouldn’t allow her entry…

We met Betty at that museum about four years ago. A delightful, charming person with a great story. Her tour was very informative and personal. :-)
