As part of our MLK Day program, we want to do a display of people who were told they couldn't be a scientist/engineer/inventor because they were the "wrong" color/gender/religion/ethnicity/nationality/etc, and then went on to be the first one to do it. For example, Guy Bluford was the first African-American astronaut.
So, do you have any favorite First people? Please share!
thanks,
AD
