NASA and the Long Civil Rights Movement
Brian C. Odom (Editor) And Stephen P. Waring (Edit
As NASA prepared for the launch of Apollo 11 in 1969, many African American leaders protested the billions of dollars used to fund ‘space joyrides’ rather than help tackle poverty, inequality, and discrimination. This volume examines such tensions as well as the ways in which NASA’s goal of space exploration aligned with racial equality.
