As an amateur historian I am always on the lookout for untold and unusual stories. Many important events in our history have been suppressed. Now, a new web site has broken the seal on one of the most interesting tales of the late 1950’s. (Actually 1957 or 1958). I hope you will take the opportunity to go to http://www.negrospaceprogram.com/# and click “PLAY THE MOVIE” and view the shocking-but-false-story of America’s Blackstronauts. You will not be disappointed and I am certain you will want to share the experience with everyone you know. You will see a film that will enlighten, that is to say—elucidate; and, if you are of open mind, elicit chortles, guffawing, cackling and sniggering. You may even wish to thank me for the tip. As Eric Alterman suggests on his fine blog Altercation, this is clearly another case of media bias.
