Event Navigation
Due to weather considerations and out of an abundance of caution for travel safety, the Bessie Coleman Centennial Luncheon originally scheduled for Monday, January 26, has been canceled.
Join in an unforgettable in-person luncheon honoring the incredible Bessie Coleman during Oklahoma’s Bessie Coleman Centennial Week!
This is your chance to meet Gigi Coleman-Broom, Bessie Coleman’s great-niece, and hear inspiring stories about Bessie, the first African-American woman and the first Native American to earn a pilot’s license. Delve into the life of this aviation pioneer and celebrate her groundbreaking achievements. It’s an excellent opportunity to network, enjoy delicious food, and commemorate the legacy of a true trailblazer.
Don’t let this chance pass you by—bring your friends along and let’s create lasting memories together!
