Senate Resolution No. 189 recognizes the significant contributions of Black aviators and innovators over the past 125 years, highlighting their achievements despite facing systemic barriers during the Jim Crow era. The resolution acknowledges early pioneers such as John Frederick Pickering and Charles Frederick Page, who applied for aviation patents before the Wright brothers' first flight, and celebrates the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first Black military pilot group, who played a crucial role in World War II and helped pave the way for racial integration in the U.S. Armed Forces and the civil rights movement.

The resolution culminates in a tribute to these trailblazers, emphasizing the importance of honoring their impact on modern aeronautics. It also notes a special event at the Henry B. Tippie National Aviation Education Center on February 21 and 22, 2025, which will celebrate Black aviation history as part of Black History Month. The Senate of Texas expresses its commitment to recognizing and celebrating the achievements of Black individuals in aviation through this resolution.
