"In the summer of 1959, [American NASA astronaut and physicist Ronald Erwin McNair, 8 years old at the time,] refused to leave the segregated Lake City Public Library without being allowed to check out his books. After the police and his mother were called, McNair was allowed to borrow books from the library; the building that housed the library at the time is now named after him."
