I met Mr. Riddick by chance today in the hallway at the doctor's office. I liked him immediately when we began talking, he asked me if I knew about Sputnik and I said yes. Then he told me his amazing story of when he heard the radio signals from outer space. Young people today might not have heard of Sputnik, but it was a very big deal back during the Cold War years. The Russians got our military's attention, the Space Race was on and TYKE was the first to sound the alarm. He is an inspiration to us all.

As the son of the man who identified the Sputnik satellite signature, I would VERY much have appreciated to have learned this in school. We Americans proudly make much of the "cold war" and the "spce race", but constantly brush over the details that help flesh out these concepts and bring them to life. We are also constantly looking for ways to "promote scholarship and the love of learning" in order to motivate our kids. This is one such story, which serves the purposes of promoting at once the history of technology, the crucial contributions of African Americans in American history as well as world history. The inclusion of Lloyd Riddick's monumental achievement into the Museum's content can ONLY help to inspire our youth to believe, and achieve. Is that not what we want?
