To Myself, With Love: The Bessie Stringfield Story

Overview

This is the first film about Black motorcycle trailblazer, Bessie Stringfield. Stringfield was the first Black woman to ride a motorcycle across the United States - a feat she accomplished in 1930 at the age of 19 during the Jim Crow era. The short documentary includes never before seen or heard materials about Stringfield. Interviews with people that knew Bessie shed light on her extraordinary life. The 300 women of the Bessie Stringfield All-Female Ride show Stringfield's impact today 30 years after her passing.
