This presentation was in fact "Out of this World!" I grew up in the south in the late 50's and 60's so I can relate to much of the personal experiences accounted for in this presentation. However, in more than 50 years, I never had this historical perspective of NASA and the contribution it made to changing the mores of the Old South. This was a tremendous learning opportunity. Just goes to show that there is a legitimate reason for Black History Month....all year long.
