How NASA Joined the Civil Rights Revolution, History, Air – Space Magazine

How NASA Joined the Civil Rights Revolution

Integration came to the nation’s space agency in the mid-1960s.

On May 13, 1961, in its first issue after Alan Shepard’s historic Mercury mission, the nation’s leading black newspaper, the New York Amsterdam News, ran a front-page column that asked a question on the minds of millions of Americans. “If you are like me,” wrote executive editor James Hicks, “as soon as you finished thrilling to the flight of the United States’s first man into outer space, your next thought was, ‘I wonder if there were any Negroes who had anything to do with Commander Shepard’s flight?’ ” History forced President John F. Kennedy to commit the country to explore space at exactly the same time it forced him to confront the movement for civil rights. Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin’s Earth orbit, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, Alan Shepard’s flight, the Freedom Rides with their attendant violence and imposition of martial law, and Kennedy’s man-on-the-moon-by-the-end-of-the-decade speech all happened within weeks of one another in 1961.

More than 50 years later, few people know about the first African-Americans in the space program. They performed mathematical and engineering work at a time when laws would not allow them to use the same bathroom as their white co-workers.

Among them was a small group of young African-American men who left Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 1964 to work at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. These men did not lead protests or stage sit-ins (even when given the opportunity), but what they accomplished as NASA’s first black engineers was part of the civil rights revolution.

Kennedy chose federal employment as one of the tools to force integration at precisely the time that NASA and its contractors were creating 200,000 jobs in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. It is possible that Kennedy took this route because he doubted Congress would give him the power to do anything greater through legislation. But Vice President Lyndon Johnson, who believed the root of racial injustice was southern poverty, believed that one way to achieve racial integration was to create jobs. He thought an activist federal government could pour money into the region and bring it into the nation’s social and economic mainstream. After Kennedy placed Johnson at the head of both his National Aeronautics and Space Council and the President’s Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity, the vice president was well positioned to implement his plan. For many African-Americans who went to work for NASA, the new space program created employment opportunities that had never before been available to them.

There is a short list of steps NASA took to promote equal employment in the year before the 1964 Civil Rights Act became law: The agency created a contractors’ group in Alabama that used its money and influence to make sure African-Americans got space jobs. NASA hired Charlie Smoot, called the “first Negro recruiter” in official agency histories, to travel the nation persuading black scientists and engineers to come south. The Marshall Space Flight Center invited representatives of the historically black colleges to Huntsville in 1963, and a year later opened the agency’s college cooperative education program—in which students alternated semesters at school with semesters at Marshall—to blacks.

As a result, Walter Applewhite, Wesley Carter, George Bourda, Tommy Dubone, William Winfield, Frank C. Williams Jr., and Morgan Watson arrived at Marshall to become the embodiment of Johnson’s plan for jobs in the South.

NASA’s Cooperative Education Program
When he was young, Morgan Watson says, he didn’t have a green thumb, but had what he calls “a greasy thumb”: He liked taking things apart and putting them back together. “I worked in a hardware store,” he says, “and the white store owner saw my report card one day and saw that I had good grades in math and science, chemistry, and so forth, and he said, ‘You know, you would probably make a good engineer.’ ” Watson didn’t know what an engineer did, “so I went to the library and started reading about [them].”

Watson eventually entered the new engineering school at the all-black Southern University–Baton Rouge. By the time Charlie Smoot arrived, the university faculty considered Watson and six other young men the most promising engineering students at the school.

The seven were given exams, though Smoot reports that none of the white students who found jobs at NASA through the Co-Op program were required to take them. Once the agency was convinced the students were eligible, they were hired.

RIO GRANDE VALLEY, TEXAS – DEC. 31, 2015 – Weslaco native Abigail Montalvo Schulze looks forward to this time next year, hoping she and her family will enjoy a white Christmas at their new home in Pennsylvania.

Montalvo, an electrical engineering major at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley who will receive her bachelor’s degree in May 2016, already has secured employment with Procter & Gamble at the company’s Mehoopany, Penn., facility that manufactures Charmin, Bounty and Pampers products.

“I credit my internship with NASA for opening this door,” Montalvo said. “I went to the campus Career Services job fair in late September, and that is where I met the recruiters from P&G. Their eyes lit up when they saw I had completed an internship with NASA.”

Montalvo, 26, spent the past summer at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Al., as an electrical engineering intern.

“Recruiters like to see that you have done internships because it shows that you have the dedication to go out and look for work, and it means you have experience in a work setting, even if it’s different than what you will be doing,” she said.

She said she is grateful to Dr. Heinrich Foltz, a professor in the UTRGV Department of Electrical Engineering, for encouraging her to apply for the NASA internship, and for writing her letter of recommendation.

“Dr. Foltz had an alumnus from UTPA (The University of Texas Pan American) who works at Goddard Space Flight Center give a presentation to my class on his work with NASA,” Montalvo said. “He said internships and co-ops are available, and the recruiters – especially those who graduated from UT Pan American and UT Brownsville/Texas Southmost College – are eager to see applicants from the Valley.”

At MSFC, Montalvo worked on the code for the flight software of a CubeSat, a miniature satellite, approximately 10 x 10 x 10cm, made for space research. She and her mentor, Pedro Capo-Lugo, communicated daily.

“Pedro was extremely intelligent, very kind and helpful,” she said. “He showed me what was expected of me for the project, told me how to do it, and gave me resources if I had any questions. He also put me in contact with a software engineer who was basically a coding genius, who helped me a lot while I was up there.”

Occasionally, the interns were escorted on tours of the MSFC campus, visiting different facilities where they could talk to engineers in different areas.

“It was so interesting to see all the different parts that make up NASA,” Montalvo said. “Every building, every group, is working on various tasks simultaneously, and somehow they all depend on and they all interconnect with each other at some point.”

Free time was spent hanging out with other interns, dancing, caving, LARPing (live action role-playing game), playing Super Smash Brothers, or taking off on a group trip organized by NASA employees.

“On one excursion, we went to Little River Falls, considered one of the highest-rated watering holes in the nation – and rightly so, because it was so beautiful,” she said.

Working for NASA has been a dream of Montalvo’s since she started taking engineering classes at the Science Academy of South Texas in Mercedes.

As a university engineering student, Montalvo took advantage of gaining hands-on experience. She was involved in mathematics research as a freshman, then participated in two programs of the National Science Foundation – the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Summer Research Academy, and with Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM), working in research on nanomaterials.

Montalvo said her summer at MSFC was a great experience in many ways.

“Practically everyone there is pretty amazing,” she said. “Honestly, I’ve never been in such an incredible work setting. The employees had this giant sense of integrity, like the honor system in the breakroom when someone was selling candy for a fundraiser – just leave a dollar and take a candy bar.”

She also appreciated the ethnic diversity of employees at MFSC, and how everyone “connected.”

“There wasn’t this sense of segregation that you sometimes see or feel in a lot of places,” she said. “Then, to top it all off, the people there are just brilliant, with a love and yearning for knowledge, answers and truth.”

Before the anticipated snowy Pennsylvania Christmas next year, Montalvo looks forward not only to her UTRGV graduation in May 2016 – but also to her 4-year-old son’s graduation from pre-K.

“In Mehoopany, I will be a process engineer. My son will be starting kindergarten. And my husband will be enrolled in college,” she said. “He has been our support during my education, and now it’ll be his turn to work on his degree.”

Marshall Space Flight Center Director Retires
by Staff Writers
Huntsville AL (SPX) Mar 30, 2009


David King.

David King, director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., is retiring from the agency to accept a position as executive vice president of Dynetics in Huntsville, effective immediately. Robert M. Lightfoot, Marshall’s deputy center director, will serve as acting director until a successor is named.

King has been the center director at Marshall since June 2003. His departure ends a 25-year career with NASA that began in 1983 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where he served as director of space shuttle processing and shuttle launch director.

“David’s expertise and dedication will be sorely missed, not only at Marshall, but across the entire agency,” NASA Acting Administrator Chris Scolese said. “As sad as we are to see him leave, we wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors.”

King described his decision to leave NASA as one of the toughest of his professional career. “The opportunities NASA has given me are something most people only dream about,” King said. “It was a privilege to work with some of the smartest people in the world for 25 years. I will miss them greatly.”

King’s acting successor, Lightfoot, has served as Marshall’s deputy director since May 2007. A native of Montevallo, Ala., he has shared responsibility for managing Marshall, one of NASA’s largest field centers. The center has more than 8,400 civil service and contract employees performing a wide scope of propulsion, scientific and space transportation activities.

“Robert’s experience and leadership skills are exactly what we need to lead Marshall at this critical time,” Scolese said. “I’m certain he will do a terrific job in this role as he has in all of his previous positions at NASA.”

From 2005 to 2007, Lightfoot served as manager of the Space Shuttle Propulsion Office at Marshall, leading the organization with responsibility for the manufacture, assembly and operation of the primary shuttle propulsion elements: the main engines, external fuel tank, solid rocket boosters and reusable solid rocket motors.

For the two years prior to that, Lightfoot was assistant associate administrator for the Space Shuttle Program in the Office of Space Operations at NASA Headquarters in Washington. His responsibilities included space shuttle return to flight activities, budget formulation and integration of shuttle infrastructure into the Constellation Program, the new initiative of human exploration of the moon, Mars and beyond.

In 2002, Lightfoot was director of the Propulsion Test Directorate at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Miss. He began his NASA career at Marshall in 1989 as a test engineer and program manager for the space shuttle main engine technology test bed program, and the Russian RD-180 engine testing program for the Atlas launch vehicle program.

Lightfoot has received numerous awards during his NASA career, including a NASA Outstanding Leadership medal in 2007 for outstanding and exemplary leadership of the Shuttle Propulsion Office and assuring safety for the shuttle’s return to flight. In 2006, he was awarded the Presidential Rank Award for Meritorious Executives – the highest honor attainable for federal government work.

“Robert is a tremendous leader and one of NASA’s best,” King said. “I leave with full confidence that Marshall will be in great hands.”

Got my first job! Working at NASA, FIU News – Florida International University

Got my first job! Working at NASA

September 9, 2019 at 2:00pm

In this series, recent grads share their journey to landing that first job out of college. After years of studying and working toward a degree, these Panthers’ hard work paid off. Now they’re paying it forward by letting you know how they did it.

Name: Sara Rengifo ’15

Hometown: Medellin, Colombia

Degree/Major: Master’s degree in mechanical engineering

Where are you working? I work for NASA at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center as a tribology and metrology engineer. We run tests for evaluating oils, greases, dry film lubricants and coating on materials, and we run inspections to determine the wear in mechanics.

How did you get your job? I got my job by applying online for a full-time position at NASA through USA Jobs, which is a government website with job opportunities within federal agencies. I honestly didn’t know if my application would be looked at, but to my surprise, I received a call for an interview within a couple of days and thanks to my preparation I was hired for the job.

What was your greatest fear going into your first job and how did you face it or overcome it? My greatest fear going into my first job was that I was nervous that my English would be a determining factor in my success. I was afraid I was not going to understand the technical parts of the discussions. I also began to doubt whether I was the right person for the job. Working hard and dedicating my time to this job helped me a lot to overcome this fear. Every day at home, I dedicated some time to review and research what I am learning/working on and after many hours of reading and asking questions I became much more proficient and learned more technical vocabulary.

What surprised you the most about your first job? What surprised me the most about my job here at NASA is that I was expecting to be working among very smart people who would not be willing to share their knowledge, but it turns out I was very wrong. I ended up working alongside talented engineers who were eager to hear my opinions and happy to discuss my thoughts about any issues during meetings.

What advice do you have for those beginning the job search process? I really encourage students to do research and try to get involved in any activities that involve science—science projects , student events or competitions. This will not only help your career path, but it will also help you grow as a professional. Also, get involved with job fair events at FIU. I participated in every single one and once I knew about my interview for this job, I participated in a mock interview workshop, which are done through CEC’s Career Services Team at FIU. I went there several times until I felt ready for the real job interview.

What does a day on the job look like? Every day is a challenge and every day is an opportunity to create. Working in the labs gives me the opportunity to be creative and responsive. At the same time, working from my office gives me an opportunity to talk with other engineers, technicians and co-workers to see the agency from different perspectives and observe how all the work I do in the labs can benefit the NASA mission that varies depending on which project is being worked on.

How does your job connect back to your coursework? In engineering everything is connected. People tend to think of science, engineering and technology as three separate things, but they’re actually closely connected. In the same way, the coursework learned in college is applied every day, not only at work but in everything around us. Scientists use the technologies that engineers create and engineers rely on the knowledge of the natural world developed by scientists. Just thinking about cars, airplanes, cellphones, etc. is a demonstration of this relationship.

How was your transition from school to work? How do you balance your time? Having more free time, allowing me to concentrate on what I want. Now, I use to-do lists and I am getting better at prioritizing tasks. Also, I have more time to read about those aspects of my job that I want to be better at. When I was still in school, balancing the time between the labs and the office helped me to become more organized today.

What’s been the coolest thing about your job so far? The people that I work with is the coolest thing about my job. Also, visiting other NASA centers and meeting so many talented engineers around the U.S. while getting to work in diverse teams where everyone’s opinion is valid and enriching.

Rengifo is with astronauts Harrison Schmidt (U.S. Senator and retired NASA astronaut, the most recent living person who has walked on the Moon) and Rex Wilheim (NASA astronaut), and MSFC Center Director Jody Singer.

Sara just received a prestigious Trailblazer award given “to recognize employees who are in the early stages of their career. Awardees must demonstrate strong work ethic and creative, innovative thinking in support of human spaceflight” at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, where she works as a Tribology and Metrology Engineer.
