After the war, Stringfield settled in Miami, where she became a local legend: “The Motorcycle Queen of Miami.” She performed stunts at carnivals and co-founded the Iron Horse Motorcycle Club. Despite constant racism and sexism, she refused to let society define her. 8/9

During World War II, she served as a civilian motorcycle courier for the U.S. Army, transporting documents between military bases—a job that required exceptional riding skill. 7/9

Think about it—before highways, a Black teenager in love with Harley-Davidsons crisscrossed the U.S., including the Jim Crow South, relying on Black-friendly motels, gas stations, and the kindness of strangers to navigate a segregated America. 5/9

After her mother died, Stringfield’s father abandoned her. He ran off with a white woman who didn’t want a Black stepdaughter. Now orphaned, she was adopted by an Irish Catholic woman who raised her with resilience and faith. 3/9

Last night, I watched To Myself, with Love: The Bessie Stringfield Story and discovered a real American pioneer: Bessie Stringfield (1911–1993). 2/9
