A Pilot Lights the Way
By Valada Parker Flewellyn

Pilot in turbulent skies
 He flew
Weathering storms of injustice
Clouds of prejudice
Fogs of inequality
Winds of change
He flew
A gallant beacon of light 

He entered the cockpit 
With authority and took flight
Opening doors that others might
He flew
Ensign Jesse Leroy Brown
A Pioneer of Naval Aviation
With confidence and reverence
He would always pray
Knowing God 
A Pilot lights the way
 Copyright 2007  


The movie "Devotion",  based on a book by the same title written by author Adam Mako's, is about the life of  Ensign Jesse Leroy Brown,  the first Black Naval fighter pilot.
