LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Bowman Field in Louisville will host an exhibit next month that features Black achievement in aviation, official said.
The exhibit, called “The Sky’s the Limit: A Celebration of the History of Black Achievement in Aviation,” will feature 14 individuals and organizations throughout February in honor of Black History Month, the Louisville Regional Airport Authority said in a statement.
Visitors will get to see how those featured got their start in aviation, how they handled any adversity and how they rose to prominence, the statement said.
“We hope the stories of these pioneers and leaders inspire a new generation of aviation professionals,” said Dan Mann, Executive Director of the Louisville Regional Airport Authority.
