| While preparing the March "Interview," Astronomy contributing editor William Schomaker asked Neil deGrasse Tyson — director of New York City's Charles Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History — to talk about how other blacks criticized him for "wasting" his talents on science. Tyson responded with, "I cannot tell it better than how I wrote it for my memoir." Due to space constraints, we were unable to include the question and response in the magazine. |
