WHITEWATER—The Irvin L. Young Memorial Library is screening the film, “Pearl” on Tuesday, November 14 starting at 5:30 p.m. This is one of several events that the library is hosting to celebrate Native American Heritage Month. Community members are invited to attend this feature film set in 1920s rural Oklahoma, based on the remarkable true story of Chickasaw aviatrix, Pearl Carter Scott, the youngest licensed pilot in American history. Mentored by world-renowned aviator Wiley Post, Pearl first pilots a plane at the age of 12 and becomes a commercial pilot and local celebrity before she reaches adulthood. As she finds love and becomes a wife and mother, her two greatest passions collide.  

The screening will be held in the library’s Community Room located at 431 W. Center Street in Whitewater. There is no cost or registration. Call 262-473-0530 with questions.
