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 get a PhD in Physics from MIT and became an astronaut. The library that refused to lend him books is now named after him.
