In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.

The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him

Seeing your post today brought back sad memories. My wife and I met in college in Melbourne, Florida back in 1985. As we were leaving a physics class on January 28th, 1986 we witnessed the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger. It left a profound impact on both of us. My wife who was a space science major did get hired at NASA after graduating and still works for the agency as a now not so “hidden figure”.
