A President *JFK) quite literally championed his presence on Chuck Yeager's team

The President sent people to check on him and make sure he was doing okay while he was with Chuck Yeager's team.

YET he still suffered racism. And Yeager himself set the example that the racism was okay.

Within just days of the President's assassination, this eminently qualified, intelligent, kind man was booted out of the program.

Do not tell me DEI isn't absolutely essential.
