Honoring Dr. Ronald E. McNair

A great and sad story. In 1959 the police were called to a segregated library in South Carolina when a 9 year old black boy refused to leave. He later got a PhD in Physics from MIT, and died in 1986, one of the astronauts aboard the doomed NASA space shuttle Challenger. The library that refused to lend him books is now named after him. The Dr. Ronald E. McNair Life History Center. He was survived by his wife, Cheryl B. Moore, and two children: Joy Cheray McNair and Reginald Ervin McNair.
