FIRST BLACK COACH TO WIN SUPER BOWL
Tony Dungy (68) of the Indianapolis Colts became the first Black
NFL head coach to win a Super Bowl (XLl). The victory marked
the first time a Black head coach had reached the National
Football League’s championship game—one that featured not
just one, but two Black head coaches.

HISTORY WAS MADE ON THIS DAY
(AP)
At 11:38 a.m. EST, on January 28, 1986, the space shuttle
Challenger lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, and
Christa McAuliffe is on her way to becoming the first
ordinary U.S. civilian to travel into space. McAuliffe, a
37-year-old high school social studies teacher from New
Hampshire, won a competition that earned her a place
among the seven-member crew of the Challenger.
Seventy-three seconds later, hundreds on the ground,
including Christa’s family, stared in disbelief as the
shuttle broke up in a forking plume of smoke and fire.
Millions more watched the wrenching tragedy unfold
on live television. There were no survivors.
