BEYOND THE STARS
There is more than one way to lead a successful life. Ronald McNair succeeded despite racism. He became an accidental revolutionary as a kid, when he broke the color barrier in Lake City, South Carolina. His act of rebelliousness would set the course for his relatively short but full life, which culminated in his career as an astronaut.
Ronald McNair was born in 1950. Although the family was poor, Ron grew up surrounded by books, music, and the strong support of his mother, who nurtured his love of reading. From a young age, he was obsessed with space.
When Ron first went into the public library in 1959, he found out that the library was segregated and that, unlike white boys, he wasn’t allowed to check a book out. Nine-year-old Ron didn’t give up: He simply refused to leave the library without his science books. The librarian called the cops, who immediately called his mother. Pearl McNair proudly stood by her son in the matter, persuading the librarian to let him borrow the books. From that day on, Ron was allowed to check out books whenever he wanted.
Despite his high grades, Ron couldn’t just apply to any college he liked. After earning his degree from the nearest college offering physics to Afro-American students, Ron got a brochure in the mail from NASA one day. They were looking for mission specialist candidates. He enthusiastically applied and was accepted from a pool of 10,000 applicants.
Ron spent six years in astronaut training before his first mission on the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1984. The mission’s goal was to put a satellite into orbit, but Ron had another, secret objective: playing the saxophone in space. By blowing a solo performance of “What the World Needs Now Is Love,” Ron McNair became the first person to play a saxophone in space.
Two years later, Ron was scheduled to return to space on the unfortunate 1986 Challenger mission. He lost his life along with six other crew members when the shuttle broke apart during launch on January 28th.
Since the tragedy, many institutional buildings have been named in honor of the seven men and women whose lives were cut short that day. In 2011, Lake City Library was turned into Ronald E. McNair Life History Center. Anywhere a kid can be found trying to rise above their circumstances, Ron’s spirit lives on.
