AAMU to Host Screening of NASA Documentary Celebrating Blacks in Space

The Color of Space, an inspirational documentary by NASA that tells the stories of Black Americans determined to reach the stars is coming to Alabama A&M. A screening of the documentary with NASA and Club for the Future will take place at the Event Center on Friday, Sept. 8, from 2-4 p.m.
