Sally Ride’s Admirers Remember Her Heroic Deeds With Independence Day Celebrations
All of the close people of Sally Ride were really in joy to have this statue built in LA as Sally Ride had lived in Van Nuys and Encino. Sally Ride unfortunately passed away in the year 2012 getting diagnosed for the disease of cancer in her pancreas.
Leading movie maker, Steven Barber, acknowledged Ride’s enormous contributions to the studies of astrophysics. The statue is situated close to her home and therefore, he felt that Sally Ride’s liveliness still existed even after her death. The President had also spoken about Ride and her endeavors, especially as the reveal was on the same date as that of the launch of the space transportation system. There were independence day celebrations taking place after that. We saw the gathering of elders and children alike. A number of concerts were organized as well.
