Ron woke up early one morning with an important job to do! He went to the library to find a book about a kid that looked like him. When he went to check out the books he picked out, when he was reminded that only white people can check out books from the library! Ron was not going to back down! The police were called, but he was determined to make a change! Finally, the librarian, Mrs. Scott, gave him his own library card & from that day on, he was able to check out his own books!

A black orphan boy in a big town finally gets a foster family that keeps him. He goes to the library as often as he can to find some quiet place to think and dream. He is sad when the library closes for construction but compares his life to that of one of his books decides his life isn't so bad and he can find another quiet place.
Nice quote about him finding a book about a black child, and how good it made him feel, his first book about someone and some place that looked like him & his city.… (mais)

This is a ctionalized account of how astronaut Ron McNair’s burning desire as a young, African American boy to read books about space, led him to take a stand in 1959 that would integrate his library in South Carolina.
