Ronald McNair was 9 when a South Carolina librarian told him he could not check out books from a segregated library in 1959. Refusing to leave, a determined McNair sat on the counter while the librarian called the police, as well McNair's mother. The police arrived, told the librarian to let the young boy have his books, and McNair walked out alongside his mother and brother.

McNair went on to earn his Ph.D. in physics at MIT and became one of the first African Americans selected as astronauts by NASA, alongside Guion S. Bluford, Jr. and Frederick Gregory.

McNair's first spaceflight was the STS-41B mission, aboard the "Challenger" shuttle. He successfully maneuvered the robotic arm, which allowed astronaut Bruce McCandless to perform the first space walk without being tethered to the spacecraft.

The second space flight for McNair would be his last. He, along with six other NASA astronauts, were aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger when it exploded 73 seconds after takeoff in 1986. Everyone on board the shuttle was killed.

Today, the library in South Carolina where McNair was refused books is named after the heroic boy determined to make a difference.

Ronald McNair tenia 9 años cuando una bibliotecaria de Carolina del Sur, le dijo que no podía sacar libros de una biblioteca segregada en el año 1959. Rehusándose a irse,un McNair muy determinado, se sentó en el mostrador mientras que la bibliotecaria llamaba a la policía y también a la madre de McNair. La policía llegó, le dijeron a la bibliotecaria que dejara que el niño sacara los libros. McNair salió de la biblioteca junto a su madre y hermano.

McNair ganó su doctorado en física en el Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts (MIT) y se convirtió en uno de los primeros afroamericanos en ser seleccionado como astronauta por la NASA, junto con Guion S. Bluford, Jr. y Frederick Gregory.

El primer viaje espacial de McNair fue la misión STS-41B, abordo del transbordador espacial llamado Challenger. Logró maniobrar el brazo robótico de manera exitosa, esto permitió que el astronauta Bruce McCandless realizara la primera caminata espacial sin estar atado a la nave espacial.

El segundo viaje espacial de McNair, fue su último. Él, junto con otros seis astronautas de la NASA estaban abordo del transbordador espacial Challenger, cuando este explotó 73 segundos después de su despegue en 1986. Todos los que estaban a abordo de la nave fallecieron.

Hoy, la librería en Carolina del Sur, dónde le negaron los libros a McNair, ahora se llama igual al niño heroico que estaba determinado a hacer la diferencia.
