Description:
It was not until 1976 that a NASA campaign to find minority trainees was launched, leading to the recruitment of the two Air Force colonels and the civilian scientist who would become the first African Americans to journey into space. Dramatic photos and vivid text tell the inspiring story of those three men and the African Americans who have followed them.
