Actual the first candidate was Edward Dwight, 1961. PBS just showed him in their mini series about the moon landing. He was dropped from group because of Chuck Yeagar. However, NASA used the picture he took for program to keep Africans from messing with satellites they had set up there.
The most funniest thing is I used to always dream about being an astronaut, so seeing actual astronauts who were black is definitely motivatational. But now I am more business orientated and I have a couple of supeeheroes and tv shows ideas. I feel proud of this guy achievement.
