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 celebrates the achievements of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II, who played a crucial role in advancing racial integration in the military and the civil rights movement.

The resolution culminates in a tribute to these trailblazers, emphasizing their lasting impact on modern aeronautics. It also notes an upcoming event at the Henry B. Tippie National Aviation Education Center on February 21 and 22, 2025, where guests will honor the legacy of Black aviation history as part of a Black History Month celebration. The Texas Senate expresses its commitment to recognizing and celebrating these important contributions through this resolution.
