In today’s Black History Moment we celebrate Jerome Singleton.

This Columbia native is a Paralympic sprinter, and was dubbed the fastest amputee on the planet back in 2011.

Singleton is also a 100 meter world championship winner, but he isn’t just an amazing athlete.

Singleton helped work on an NASA engine that assisted with the Mars landing.

All month long we celebrate native Black South Carolinian’s that had a profound impact on the state…and the world.
