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

@Velocity2222 he was a tremendously accomplished and influential person. I stumbled across some of his science while researching for Becoming Batman. Dr McNair was a karate black belt & coauthored one of the very first papers to study the physics of martial arts strikes.
