Senate Resolution No. 189 recognizes the significant contributions of Black aviators and innovators over the past 125 years, highlighting their resilience in overcoming 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 emphasizes the role of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II as the first Black military pilot group. Their achievements not only advanced aviation but also laid the groundwork for racial integration in the U.S. Armed Forces and the civil rights movement.

The resolution culminates in a tribute to these trailblazers, celebrating their enduring legacy in aviation during a special event at the Henry B. Tippie National Aviation Education Center on February 21 and 22, 2025, as part of Black History Month. The Texas Senate expresses its commitment to honoring the contributions of Black individuals in aeronautics and encourages recognition of their impact on modern aviation history.
