Pulled Back The Covers Of Their Lies Poem by THEODORE MOSLEY

Upon further review upon further beliefs upon their realistic beliefs and upon life challenges.

In 1983 as a result of their low self-esteem of black people Guion Stewart Bluford Jr became an Aerospace Engineer; the first black man to fly in space on the Orbiter Challenger for NASA!

We only can shine shoes and pick cotton for careers; impossible to be able to design aircrafts and spacecrafts. That is foolish thinking!

In the summer of 1959 in Lake City, South Carolina they called the police on me for wanting to check out my books. The Library was restored and renamed; Dr. Ronald E McNair Life History Center.

Reading my books propelled me into becoming a Physicist Astronaut for NASA! The year of 1986 upon launching into space the Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrated with Ronald Erwin McNair as an Astronaut.

Ronald Erwin McNair took flight with racism in his mind and has a crater on the moon named in his honor.

My name is Mae Carol Jemison with an Engineer Physician Degree and in 1992 I was the first black woman to encounter space travel with NASA without being chased in time.

I am a black woman of substance and excellence standing in my culture of blackness.

Don't forget about me my name is Stephanie Diana Wilson and I too am an Engineer and Astronaut with NASA. I was awarded the NASA Distinguished Service Medal along with the Space Flight Medal.

Please can you people stay in the fields of our choice for your despicable lives. We will not honor you with anything but lies!

NASA did not leave me out of their space program. I became an Aerospace Engineer and Astronaut.

January of 2017 it was announced that I would be assigned to the International Space Station in Orbit.

January of 2018 a last minute crew change changed my destiny for temporary living.

I was born in 1970 Jeanette Jo Epps a black woman; my non-residence with the International Space Station as a Flight Engineer strengthened my blackness.

Sports are your only way out of our stronghold we have advocated for you.

Out of darkness and ashes of defeat we pulled back the covers of their lies that colored people could only excel in housekeeping for others.
