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

He ultimately gave his life in the pursuit of furthering man's knowledge of the cosmos in the Challenger disaster of 1986. RIP, hero.

Thank you for pointing that out, @Cvmarider20. I recall seeing his photo but I didn't place it with Challenger. I'm reading more in this thread that's way cool about him. Let this man be remembered and treasured! @Velocity2222
