Up in the Air


Up in the Air, The Story of Bessie Coleman by Philip S.Hart was published by the Twenty -First Century Books.The copyright date for this biography on Bessie Coleman was in 1996.I would read another book from this author because Philip S.Hart is an extraordinarily talented writer and he informed the reader of most of the imperative events in Bessie Coleman`s life.However,the author did not decribe the hardships of being an African American woman trying to fly and only touched lightly on the important subject.In Bessie Coleman`s time racism was a colossal issue and i think the author did not express the importance of the issue too well.
Furthermore, Philip S.Hart breifly mentioned Bessie Coleman`s marriage to Claude Glenn.Additionally, the author did not mention the affect Bessie Coleman`s brutal death affected people all over the world .Overall, Up in the Air , The Story of Bessie Coleman by Philip S.Hart is an amazing biography and i would read another book from this skilled author.This story had definately inspired me and i can understand the influence Bessie Coleman had on people all over the world : flyers,dreamers and achievers.
