Little Known Black History Fact:
Bessie Stringfield
Bessie Stringfield, better known as the “Motorcycle
Queen of Miami,” is a pioneering motorcyclist who broke
down barriers for Black riders and women alike. The late
Stringfield is historically known as the first Black woman to
ride across the United States, riding well into her later
years.
Stringfield was born in Jamaica in 1911 to a Black
Jamaican father and a white Dutch mother. The family migrated north to the United
States and settled in Boston, Mass. Tragedy struck when Stringfield was just five-yearsold, when her parents died. An Irish woman primarily raised her from that point on.
At 16, Stringfield was given a motorcycle by her caregiver, a 1928 Indian Scout. Three
years later, at the age of 19, she embarked on the first of eight cross-country trips with
stops at carnivals and stunt shows. She made a name for herself as a Black woman
motorcyclist earning money on her long road trips. However, because of her race and
gender, she would often have to sleep outside on her motorcycle because hotels wouldn’t
take her in.
Stringfield was married and divorced six times but never had children. She kept the last
name of her third husband, Arthur Stringfield throughout her career. As her carnival stunt
career slowed, Stringfield shifted gears and worked for the U.S. Army as a civilian
motorcycle dispatch rider during World War II. She was the only woman in her unit and
was essentially trained as a soldier.
Although she was a fearless rider, she endured racist attacks and taunts including people
attempting to run her off the road. The incidents made her stronger and she decided to
not let the prejudice of others get in the way of her love of motorcycles. Stringfield
eventually settled just outside of Miami, Fla. and worked as a nurse.
Stringfield eventually founded the Iron Horse Motorcycle Club. She also still partook in
races, winning one such event disguised as a man though she was denied the prize
money when she revealed her true gender. It was in Miami where she earned her
nickname and rode on one of her many Harley-Davidson bikes performing tricks.
Stringfield rode up until her death in 1993. She was 82. In 1990, the American
Motorcyclist Association honored Stringfield in a Harley-Davidson exhibit. In 2000, the
AMA named its “Superior Achievement by a Female Motorcyclist” award after her. In
2002, she was posthumously inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame.
