Dr. Louis P. Clark, a Native of Thomasville and a graduate from Allen Normal Industrial School, Thomasville, Ga. He is the only known Black Aerospace Physicist and Engineer from Thomasville. Since 1930, as a young man, his scientific work led to development of United States Navy’s Polaris Submarine- Launched Missile System, the Air Force Anti-Ballistic Missile defense system and later satellites for communication and Global Surveillance. He also helped cure vibration and flutter problems in high-speed military aircraft, development in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence, studied effects on radiation of astronauts and equipment in orbit, and much more.


Emory Coleman is a Thomasville Native and former employee for NASA. Emory began working for NASA while at the University of California, Berkeley studying homodynamic and fractional radiation of sub-human primates. During this time, NASA sent a monkey into space to study the effects of weightlessness. Emory assisted in the mission and the recovery of the capsule off Hawaii with the small astronaut on board and processed the data.
