Happy heavenly birthday to Robert Henry Lawrence Jr., the United States’ first Black astronaut! 🚀👨🏾‍🚀

Lawrence was a highly skilled pilot who, at age 31, was assigned to the @usairforce and National Reconnaissance Office’s’ Manned Orbiting Laboratory after graduating from the former’s Test Pilot School in June 1967. 

Just six months after his assignment, Lawrence was killed in a jet crash while training — and he never had the opportunity to launch into space. 

Today we honor Lawrence’s accomplishments and the strides that he made for future generations of Black Americans. 🕊️

List of Met Galas since 2001

I've gotten a few asks for a list of Met Galas. Technically, the gala has existed since 1948, and been themed since 1973, but I started at 2001 to keep it short (there was no gala in 2000 apparently). If you're interested in every theme that's ever existed, there's a chart on Wikipedia.

Inherit the Wind is a 1960 American film based on the 1955 play of the same name written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee. The film was directed by Stanley Kramer. It stars Spencer Tracy as lawyer Henry Drummond and Fredric March as his friend and rival Matthew Harrison Brady.

It also features Gene Kelly, Dick York, Harry Morgan, Donna Anderson, Claude Akins, Noah Beery Jr., Florence Eldridge, and Jimmy Boyd.

The script was adapted by Nedrick Young (originally as Nathan E. Douglas) and Harold Jacob Smith. Stanley Kramer was commended for bringing in writer Nedrick Young, as the latter was blacklisted and forced to use the pseudonym Nathan E. Douglas.

Inherit the Wind is a parable that fictionalizes the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial as a means to discuss McCarthyism. Written in response to the chilling effect of the McCarthy era investigations on intellectual discourse, the film (like the play) is critical of creationism.

Year 1862: The Twins

As the war continues, Mary hears of many women losing their husbands, sons, and brothers to the Union. Her friend, Sarah, comes to her one day in tears to tell her the news that her husband had enlisted, and was off. She began to silently fear that Henry would do the same.

She gave birth to twins, two boys, in May: Lawrence Robert “Laurie” and Henry Graham Jr. “Harry” Doyle.

As the year passes, the Doyle family holds strong. Henry reads every newspaper, skims the list of deceased soldiers, and tries to keep as much of the horrors of war from his wife.

The Doyles spent a nice Christmas indoors, grateful to be all together when so many families were not.

[lboogie1906]

Second Lieutenant Dr. Robert Henry Lawrence Jr. (October 2, 1935 – December 8, 1967) was an Air Force officer and the first African American astronaut.

He graduated from Bradley University with a BS in Chemistry. At Bradley, he became a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity distinguished himself as Cadet Commander in the Air Force ROTC, and received the commission of second lieutenant in the Air Force Reserve Program.

He earned a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Ohio State University. His doctoral thesis was “The Mechanism Of The Tritium Beta Ray Induced Exchange Reaction Of Deuterium With Methane and Ethane In The Gas Phase.”

He completed the Air Force Test Pilot School (Class 66B) at Edwards AFB. The same month, he was selected by the USAF as an astronaut in the Air Force’s Manned Orbital Laboratory program.

He and other MOL astronauts laughed when asked at the announcement “Will you have to sit in the back seat of the capsule?”. When asked if his selection was historic for race relations in the US, he answered “No, I don’t think so. It’s another one of those things that we look forward to in civil rights — normal progression”. He said that he had faced problems like other African Americans, but “Perhaps I have been more fortunate than the others in the opportunities”. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #omegapsiphi
