Astronaut Judith Resnick, though not African-American, sported a large ‘fro hairdo, which became ensnarled in an apparatus on board the shuttle. She told the rest of the crew that if they reported it, she would kill them all! It was never contemporaneously reported.

Judith, by all accounts a wonderful lady, later perished on board the Challenger.

I was disappointed that coverage of the egress was cut off after that.
