NASA Astronaut named Person of the Year by the African American web site Let's Talk Honestly ( www.letstalkhonestly.com )

Hi everyone this is George Cook I am proud to announce the Let's Talk Honestly Person of the year ( www.letstalkhonestly.com ). Astronaut Leland D. Melvin.



Leland Melvin will be on the next shuttle mission STS 122 in 2008. Mr Melvin is a former NFL player, a chemist and an astronaut.

I picked Mr. Melvin because he is a great example of what a education can do for African American children when it's stressed in the household. He also is showing black kids they can succeed in something other than sports and entertainment.  Leland Melvin has traveled across the country, talking to thousands of students and teachers about space exploration, and inspiring them to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Congratulations to Leland Melvin on being selected the inaugural LTH Person of the Year for not only setting a great example but for encouraging others to follow it.
