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 became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.
#Breaking in the #PAHouse. Republicans just failed to vote for legislation to properly fund #PSU, #Pitt, #Temple, and #Lincoln Universities. Their action could cause thousands of dollars in tuition increases for hard-working families across PA. This is not responsible governance!
I, too, sing America...
Tomorrow,

And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.
~Langston Hughes
