An inspirational interview with Barrington Irving, the first African-American to fly solo around the world, and also the youngest to do so; he was 23 years old and took off with only $30 in his pocket.
Today, at 29, Mr. Irving has become an educator, seeking to inspire American youth to take up long neglected STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).
Listen to his story on NPR: African-Americans Fly High With Math and Science
