Guion Bluford | Black History Nugget | Black History for Kids

In 1978, Guion Stewart Bluford was selected as an astronaut candidate. Guion was one of thirty-five selected. Two other African American men, Dr. Ronald McNair and Lt. Col. Fredrick Gregory were also selected. We learn about them in this video.
Guion’s first mission would be in 1983 on the Space Shuttle Challenger, making the first time an African American man went to space.
His final spaceflight was in 1992 on the Space Shuttle Discovery. He’d logged over 700 hours in orbit on the Challenger and Discovery.
