Who would have ever thought that African-American mathematicians helped America get to space during the Cold War? In the 1940s, while America was trying to get the first American into space, NASA (formerly known as NACA) was calculating the trajectories for the launch and landing of John Glenn’s orbit into space. At the time, many men were either off at war or on the assembly line building and gathering supplies to help with the war effort. Due to their lack of mathematicians in the 1940s, NASA began hiring mathematicians from all-white colleges (mostly women) to work on the necessary calculations needed to get America to space.

They also mission the claim that political elites have been virtually responding to popular opinion about crime and punishment, and alternatively argue that conservatives played a large role in shaping the publics perceptions about crime. The authors documented how the cutting-edge " tough on crime" motion turned into a part of a larger effort to growth votes for the republican party, and extra notably, to redirect state strategy away from social welfare toward social

I hear someone whisper behind me “There is Connecticut Colony.” I looked around and to my surprise; it was Nathaniel Eaton, a small boy who had barely spoken to me. I didn’t think he noticed me, but obviously I was wrong. Nathaniel is the captain’s son. His mother calls him Nat. Our first stop was Saybrook.
