You're about 70 years too late for the real fun. My brother worked at 
Redstone in Huntsville AL in the '50s. Alabama was completely segregated, 
with the whites and blacks working out a more or less comfortable 
arrangement. The engineers, mostly white northerners, didn't have a clue 
how the social boundaries worked. I'm sure von Braun's crew had some 
interesting thoughts on American hypocrisy.
