Leland Melvin is the only person in history to catch a pass in the National Football League and in space. Though his path from the gridiron to the heavens was riddled with setbacks and injury, Leland persevered to reach the stars. While training with NASA, Leland suffered a severe injury that left him deaf. He was relegated to earthbound assignments but chose to remain and support his astronaut family. His loyalty paid off: after he recovered partial hearing, he earned his eligibility for space travel. He served as a mission specialist for two flights aboard the shuttle Atlantis, working on the International Space Station. In this memoir, the former NASA astronaut and professional athlete offers an examination of the intersecting roles of community, perseverance, and grace that align to shape our opportunities and outcomes. Chasing Space is not the story of one man but the story of many men and women, scientists and mentors, who helped him defy the odds and live out an uncommon destiny. The life story of Leland -- chemist, athlete, engineer, and space traveler -- is a study in the science of achievement.

February is Black History Month
February is Black History Month
Black History Month is an opportunity to educate ourselves and to celebrate the historical contributions of black people in the United States.
The Library has many books, articles, and videos written by and about African Americans. View a small sample of books about black history in our Library display in the Reference Area near the main entrance.
Have a specific topic or author you want to know more about? Just stop by the Reference Desk and the reference librarian can help. Or chat with the reference librarian 24/7.
Also, the Library of Congress has partnered with the National Museum of African American History and Culture to update the U.S. government site. Newly found information, including family histories and audio of the voices of slavery have been added to the online features of the official Black History Month site.
