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. He also died when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986. The library is also now named after him.
