#ComingSoon! #BeingHeumann

April 21st, 1977 was the 17th day of the 504 Sit-In. Myself and several demonstrators travelled to DC while the remaining group in San Fransisco continued to occupy the HEW building. In DC, we met with senators and held demonstrations outside of the White House, Secretary Califano’s house, and President Carter’s church.

#ComingSoon! #BeingHeumann

April 11th, 1977 marked the 7th day of the 504 Sit-In. By then, there were nearly 150 people occupying the building. In that first week, we held many group meetings and each committed to stay day by day. Thankfully, we had outside groups donating food and supplies, including The Black Panther Party, Buttercup Restaurant, Brick Hut le***an cooperative in Berkeley, and Glide Memorial Church.

On Oct. 11th, 1984, Gravity Squared Entertainment client, Kathy Sullivan, became the first American woman to walk in space. #NASA #HandprintsOnHubble

On October 11, 1984, astronaut Kathy Sullivan became the first American woman to complete a spacewalk. She floated outside the Challenger space shuttle to repair a part. However, that experience wasn’t even the peak of her career — it was only the beginning of it. She continued to become a leader in space and ocean exploration. In fact, in June 2020, at the age of 68, Sullivan became the first woman to travel to ‘Challenger Deep,’ the deepest point in the ocean, a location so remote and dangerous that only seven other people have been there. Today, she is the only person who can say that she's visited both, the heights of space and the depths of the ocean.
