00:00Growing up,

00:02I loved the space program,

00:06but

00:08nobody doing that stuff

00:10looked like me.

00:12Very few people today

00:14even have a clue about

00:16black people's contribution to human space flight.

00:18I was the only black

00:20in aerospace and the only black

00:22in NASA.

00:24Because they weren't

00:26written in history books.

00:30In the early days of the civil rights movement

00:34NASA

00:36wanted to show that they were engaged

00:38in equality for all. I was told

00:40by friends and enemies alike

00:42you're 20 years too soon buddy.

00:44If you qualify and would like to be an

00:46astronaut, now is the time.

00:48This is your NASA.

00:50I don't think America or anybody

00:52knew. I was a body in a way.

00:54It was imaginary.

00:56It was a lie. Around the same time

00:58there was a Cuban who was the first

01:00person of color to fly.

01:02The Soviets made that

01:04history.

01:06Not the United States.

01:08To see a black man in

01:10space.

01:12It would have changed

01:14things.

01:16The three of us all recognized that one of us

01:24would be the first black astronaut.

01:28I would have made it to the moon.

01:30One more step for a man.

01:32They were not going to let that happen.

01:34Representation becomes critically important

01:36to help us keep moving down that path.

01:38Back in the day they were saying that blacks are too ignorant

01:42to be flying in space.

01:44I'm smitten to tear up there

01:46doing all these wonderful things.

01:48Black history is American history.

01:54We forget it at our peril.

01:56We will be on a pic
