Ideas Matter: NASA And The Civil Rights Movement

Air & Space Magazine

In our Ideas Matter segment we take time just about every week to check in with the state humanities councils in our 7-state region.

Today we'll be joined by Neil Maher, who will discuss with us a little known dimension of both the space program and the political movements of the 1960s. Neil serves as one of the New York Council for the Humanities' public scholars.
