  • Episode 35: Bessie Coleman – U.S. Mint Women Quarters Program

    Episode 35: Bessie Coleman – U.S. Mint Women Quarters Program
    2023/03/30
    Episode 35:  Bessie Coleman Photo - U.S. Mint March 30, 2023 Bessie Coleman, the first African American and Native American woman to earn her international pilot's license. Her story is one of determination and the tenacity to say, "yes, I can do it!" From an early age Bessie Coleman's mother taught her the importance of believing in herself and striving to "become somebody." Her mother could not read, however she borrow books from a traveling library, and helped Bessie learn to read.  It was a great success, because not only did Bessie learn to read, she became an avid reader and taught her siblings too. Her love of reading and ability to learn languages helped her achieve her greatest success:  learning French and attending pilot training in France. Bessie Coleman, became the first African -American  and Native American woman to receive her international pilot’s license in France on June 15, 1921. Bessie once said, "I guess it was the newspapers reporting on air war in Europe during World War I, that got me interested in flying. I was an avid reader, and searched the libraries looking for information on flying. I think all the articles I read finally convinced me I should be up there flying, and not just reading about it, so I started searching for a flying school. At first I thought it would be easy, just walk in and sign up. I didn't realize that I had two strikes against me. I remember hearing of a few women pilots before the war but I had never seen one. The other strike against me was my color. No one had ever heard of a black woman pilot in 1919. I refused to take no for an answer. My mother's words always gave me strength to overcome obstacles.” Bessie’s story is one filled with determination and the example of believing in yourself and taking action - that makes all the difference in the world.   On this podcast I share her story, along with Dorothy Cochrane with the National Air and Space Museum, Sarah Fisher with the International Women Air & Space museum and, Gigi Coleman the great niece of Bessie Coleman. We come together to share her story and inspire others to reach for the sky and achieve their dreams. I am Annita Thomas, host of Quarter Miles Travel, a podcast all about the U.S. Mint Quarters programs, where you’ll find not only an adventure on the back of a quarter, but history, iconic Americans, wildlife and so many ways to learn more about the United States.  A few facts about Bessie Coleman.

She learned French at a Berlitz school in the Chicago She worked as a manicurist to earn money and save for her dream of becoming a pilot.

  • Episode 34: U.S. Mint State Quarters Inspire The Start of Quarter Miles Travel

    Episode 34: U.S. Mint State Quarters Inspire The Start of Quarter Miles Travel
    2023/03/28
    U.S. Mint State Quarters Inspire The Start of Quarter Miles Travel Photo - U.S. Mint U.S. Mint State Quarters are the inspiration! It all started with Travel With Annita back when we were Travel Bags With Annita.  Each year a new theme is selected for programing as a way to keep content interesting, fresh and new. Inspired by the U.S. Mint State Quarters, Quarter Miles Travel was born out of a desire to focus on travel around the US, inspired by the designs on the reverse side (back) of the U.S. Mint State Quarters.  Our first quarter was the Georgia design, featuring the peach. We were amazed from our research the information we found to feature about Georgia, our home state. Information that neither Olivia or myself was aware of. This energized us even more to find more information - about things we thought we already knew. From there, we started featuring a quarter or two each show. The fourth segment of the show became, the "fourth quarter" where the U.S. Mint State Quarters designs were researched for information to tell the stories of the designs and why each state would select them. Olivia Varnson was by my side researching and recording the show. We also sailed on the Victory Chimes sailboat which is featured on the reverse side of the Maine quarter. The U.S. Mint State Quarters feature historic places, people, wildlife all things you can travel to visit and learn more. Take a listen to the start of this fascinating podcast highlighting all the makes America a great place to visit and tour. The U.S. Mint State Quarters program was followed by The America The Beautiful Commemorative Quarters and the American Women Program, which is being released now. Here's a link to start listening and find your favorite. You'll see how a U.S. Mint State Quarter can inspire travel around this beautiful country.

  • Episode 33: Nina Otero-Warren – American Women Quarters Program

    Episode 33: Nina Otero-Warren – American Women Quarters Program
    2023/03/06
    Photo- U.S. Mint Nina Otero-Warren American Women Quarters Program Nina Otero Warren - Women  Nina was a leader in New Mexico's suffrage movement, the first woman to be superintendent of Santa Fe public schools, Chairman of New Mexico’s Board of Health,  an executive board member of the American Red Cross and director of an adult literacy program in New Mexico for the Works Projects Administration. Nina has a long list of leadership accomplishments as an activists for Hispanic people.   And, today she is the fifth woman featured on a quarter in the American women quarter program On this podcast I tell her story.  Born María Adelina Isabel Emilia Otero on October 23, 1881 on her family’s hacienda, “La Constancia,” near Los Lunas, New Mexico.  She was born into a prominent political family where Her parents, Manuel B. Otero and Eloisa Luna could  trace their lineages to the early Spanish colonizers in the area.  At an early age she experienced the loss of her father who was killed by a squatter trying to settle on her family’s land.  The loss of her father had a great impact on her and the family. Her mother remarried in 1886.  And, Nina stepped in to help take care of her younger siblings  She attended  St. Vincent’s Academy in Albuquerque and Maryville College of the Sacred Heart (now Maryville University) in St. Louis.  However home was never far away…… always on her mind and in her heart. She returned to the family’s hacienda to help care for her younger siblings. She helped educate her siblings and contributed to the work on the family ranch -- later when she wrote her book …. These were the experiences she recorded in her book, Old Spain in Our Southwest. She became interested in activism In 1897, when her family moved to Santa Fe. It was there where her cousin, Miguel Otero II, became the governor of the New Mexico Territory and appointed her stepfather as a judicial clerk.  Now as an adult she was called Nina. Living in Santa Fe, she was around many people who inspired  her as she socialized among the political and cultural elite of Santa Fe. Nina met Rawson D. Warren, an officer in the Fifth U.S. Cavalry stationed at Fort Wingate. She married Warren on June 25, 1908 becoming….Nina Otero-Warren, the name she carries for the life and how we know her.  She was 26 years old.   After their Santa Fe wedding, Nina and Rawson moved to Fort Wingate. Unhappy in her marriage, Nina divorced her husband after only two years, and returned to Santa Fe. During that time, there were many attitudes prejudices against divorced women at the time, She decided to identify as a widow and continued to use her hyphenated name. In 1912 Nina moved to New York City to help and support her brother who was studying at Columbia University. While there, she worked in the settlement house movement. Another opportunity to strengthen her fight for her people.   When her mother passed  in 1914, and she  decided to move back to Santa Fe During her life Otero-Warren was very accomplished in many areas: Always emphasized the use of the Spanish language in the suffrage fight in order to reach Hispanic women.  She also spearheaded the lobbying effort to ratify the 19th Amendment in New Mexico. Otero-Warren believed in education and worked to improve education for all New Mexicans Advancing and preserving  bicultural education and cultural practices among the state’s Hispanic and Native American communities was very important to her.  In 1917, Otero-Warren was appointed superintendent of public schools in Santa Fe. She defeated a male opponent to win reelection to the position in 1918 and remained in the role until 1929.  Her focus as superintendent was to  promote adult education programs, setting up a county high school, raising teacher standards and their salaries, and improving the physical conditions of schools.  It was undeniable that she held a strong sense of  pride in her Spa...
