In 1959, 9yo Ronald McNair was told he couldn't check out his books from Lake City's segregated library. He went on to become Karate champion, earned an MIT PhD in physics, and became a NASA astronaut.
Today that library is named after him.
Today, we remember the 39 students and alumni we lost in the terrorist attacks more than two decades ago. May we always hold onto our memories of them, and live in a way that would make them proud.
