Howell, an African American veteran and writer who claimed, “Because of Bessie Coleman, we have overcome that which was much worse than a racial barrier. We have overcome the barriers within ourselves and dared to dream.” How does the evidence in the article support the fact that Coleman overcame both racial and personal barriers in order to achieve success?
