  • Bessie Stringfield Experts?

    Are you knowledgeable about Bessie Stringfield? Bessie Stringfield was an American motorcyclist who was the first African-American woman to ride across the United States solo, and was one of the few civilian motorcycle dispatch riders for the US Army during World War II.

    We have a French jounalist who is looking to interview someone during Daytona Bikeweek who could shed some light for a short documentary he is working on. Here is his letter to AMCA below if you are interested. I've checked out both links and they are safe.

    Hello,

    This e-mail may sound like a "bottle to the sea" but who knows ?

    I’m a reporter for the french national TV channel Arte also broadcast in Germany. I’m working for a daily-aired magazine dealing with culture and travel named “Invitation au Voyage” that you can check out here : https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/RC-014340/invitation-au-voyage/

    I am about to cover a short documentary about Bessie Stringfield :

    I'd intend to film this interview in Daytona during the upcoming Bike week in march.

    I've been trying to contact Ann Ferrar as well.
    I was wondering if you had an idea of a person I could interview for that piece that would be in Daytona during the bike week ?

    Thanks a lot for your help,
    Dorian Chotard

    Thank you very much Keith, Dorian, and Ann!

    I have perhaps a handful of snagged-from-the-'Net Bessie pics that do not seem to appear in the article collection.

    It would be no problem to email them to Dorian for his study; I only need an email address..
