Meet activist Alton Yates, an Air Force veteran who dedicated his life to propelling America forward?from space travel to the Civil Rights Movement and beyond?in this inspiring nonfiction picture book.

As a child growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, Alton Yates watched Black veterans return home from fighting for their country, only to have that country turn its back on them. After Alton joined the Air Force and risked his life to make spacecraft and airplane flight safer, he returned home to the same Jim Crow laws.

Alton now had a new mission: To make a stand against Jim Crow.

Based on author Chris Barton's extensive interviews, witness Alton Yates's lifelong commitment to his country, as he put his life on the line time and again for science, for civil rights, and for America's progress.
