Ronald was a very determined little boy, he was born free, but never really had much. He was born in South Carolina to a family without electricity or running water. Ronald‘s parents didn’t expect much from him or his brothers, just to provide for their family. He was able to read and write before he was even in school. As a young boy Ronald desegregated a library through peaceful resistance. He was a true hero.
Although not much was expected of McNair he still excelled in academics and athletics.
