In 1961, U.S. President John F. Kennedy selected a young test pilot named Edward Joseph "Ed" Dwight Jr. to become the first African American astronaut. While Ed was ultimately not selected by NASA, his cultural impact paved the way for those that followed. In honor of #WorldSpaceWeek, we're celebrating his legacy.
Coming this February to Disney+ from National Geographic Documentary Films, "The Space Race" takes a new look at the Space Age through the untold stories of Black astronauts. #TheSpaceRaceFilm #WSW2023
