We don't talk about Diane Nash enough when we speak of civil rights activists.
Diane Nash has been involved in the most successful movements of the era.
She became the chairman of the Nashville Student Movement organizing the Nashville sit-ins, the first successful civil rights campaign to integrate lunch counters.
She was involved in Freedom Rides, which desegregated interstate travel.
Nash co-founder the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
She co-created an initiative related to an Alabama Voting Rights Project and worked on the Selma Voting Rights Movement with her husband, James Bevel.
The Selma movement helped gain Congressional passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
As Women’s History month nears an end, recognizing the consistent hard, dangerous but successful work of Diane Nash is mandatory. #WomensHistoryMonth

In 1967, Robert Henry Lawrence Jr. became the first Black astronaut… but never made it to space.
A highly accomplished U.S. Air Force officer, Lawrence was not only a skilled pilot but also a scientist. He earned a PhD in physical chemistry by the age of 26 and went on to become a test pilot, logging hundreds of flight hours. His expertise and discipline placed him among a select group chosen for the Air Force’s Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) program—a project designed to send astronauts into space for military-related missions.
His selection marked a major milestone at a time when opportunities for Black Americans in science, aviation, and space exploration were extremely limited. Lawrence’s achievement represented both personal excellence and progress in breaking racial barriers within highly competitive fields.
However, his journey was cut short.
In December 1967, while serving as an instructor pilot, Lawrence was involved in a training accident at Edwards Air Force Base in California. He lost his life before he ever had the opportunity to go to space.
Although he never flew a mission, his legacy remains significant. The MOL program itself was later canceled, but several astronauts from the program went on to join NASA. Lawrence’s contributions, and what he represented, became part of the broader history of inclusion in space exploration.
For many years, his name was not widely recognized. In 1997, he was officially inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame, acknowledging his role as a pioneer and honoring the path he helped open for future generations.

I am grateful to see this photo of Dr. Betty Shabazz, Dr. Dorothy Height, Mrs. Myrlie Evers Williams, and my mother Mrs. Coretta Scott King, sharing a moment of joy at The King Center’s annual Salute to Greatness Awards Dinner years ago.
To see them together in joy matters. These women carried so much, yet still made space for laughter, connection, and purpose. They led with strength, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to justice, often enduring what many could not see.
That legacy lives on in Black women today who continue to lead, persevere, and shape our communities with courage and conviction.
On her birthday, we honor Dr. Dorothy Height and the generations of Black women who continue to move us forward.

My next stop was Florida A&M University.
Experiencing the tradition, pride, and energy of FAMU was beyond special!
Walking around campus, touring the engineering building, and exploring the football program was unforgettable.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to show us around.
Truly appreciated the opportunity and hospitality.
