Coauthor richard paul and stephen moss took about ten africanamericans that broke the color barrier at nasa and the use of the Space Program by kennedy and johnson to advance the social change. When its up for the presentation we are here to talk about the book we couldnt fail the space Station Program it looks at the role in the civil rights in the years before the rights act happened. Discrimination was not against the law. It was easy. When we talk about the achievements of the people in the book and when we talk about the rules put in place by the Kennedy Administration to try to address the Workplace Discrimination at how they were implemented. So we will be talking about the people whose lives were touched.
