Bessie Coleman's autobiography "Aviator" - This first-hand account of her life can provide valuable insights into Bessie's childhood experiences, family life, and the challenges she faced growing up as an African-American girl in Texas.
Local newspapers from the time - Local newspapers from the early 20th century can provide valuable information about Bessie's community and the social and cultural context in which she grew up, as well as any notable events or stories about her life
