As we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on this day we would also like to celebrate the life and legacy of some incredible women who used aviation as way to advance the Civil Rights Movement. Beginning with Bessie Coleman, the first African American woman to earn her pilot’s license, to Mae Jemison, the first African American female Astronaut, we want to inspire you with the stories of these incredible women and then some. A list of activities and times are listed below:
10:00am : Craft Stations Open – Learn how to make the prefect paper airplane, experiment with Whirly Gigs, and make a Bessie Coleman Bookmark to take home.
11:00am-12:45pm : FREE Public Tour
1:00pm-1:45pm : Presentation by David Fuller from NASA. Learn about the space program and ask your most pressing aeronautical questions.
