Default Race and the Space Race



WAMU, 88.5 Mhz in DC is airing "Race and the Space Race"
Sun., February 21 at 6 p.m. and Sun., Feb. 28 at 6 a.m.
I quote from their page:

The "space age" began when America was going through a wrenching
battle over civil rights.

Because the heart of the old Confederacy was chosen as its base,
NASA played an unintended role in civil rights history. In this
program, we hear how this happened and we hear the stories of
the people who broke the color line at NASA - their stories of
frustration and their stories of perseverance. Produced by Richard
Paul with Soundprint and narrated by Mae Jemison, the first
African-American woman in Space, "Race and the Space Race" tells the
unlikely story of civil rights and the space program.

Soundprint often offers an interesting and engaging perspective on
topics they cover; I bet the same is true of this one, even if a joint
venture. I suspect it's available in multiple venues.
