An exhibit on the Faith Based AIDS responses in Alabama during the 1980s and 1990s.
The German Rocket Wives were instrumental in the Space Age, using culinary bridges to adapt and flourish in Huntsville, Alabama. Beyond their husbands' scientific achievements, these women were key to social acclimation, hosting gatherings to build community among German expatriates and American neighbors. Through cooking, they maintained cultural heritage and facilitated integration, blending German and American customs to create a hybrid identity. This project shines a light on their essential, yet often overlooked, contributions to cultural harmony during this transformative era.
