SPRINGFIELD One of the most impactful aspects of the Healing Racism Institute of Pioneer Valley’s programming is the opportunity for people from different socioeconomic levels to come together to address their racial biases.

As it happened, Hughes’ hypothesis, that the Earth is flat, has been under assault since antiquity. Still, Hughes, a stuntman who once made a world-record distance jump in a stretch limo, spent years building rockets so he could get far enough away from his subject to see for himself. Whether his last flight scratched the itch is unknown; after the bungled launch, his rocket obeyed the laws of projectiles, attributed to Galileo, and nosedived into the desert.
