The Negro Space Program
It was in 1957, or 1958, that the Negro Space Program was started in response to NASA’s whites only policy.
Here is a short, 10-minute Non-Ken Burns documentary about this little known organization and its accomplishments.
I would like to thank Aaron Venn for bringing this fascinating piece of American History to my attention.

I would like to just let you know that you’re welcome, or, shouldn’t feel grateful, if you will.

I never would have guessed that I lived just up the road (Elgin) from where Peter “Stinky Pete” Carver survived his horrific accident. Someone needs to commemorate that parking lot.
