The streets of New York City erupted in violent protests that lasted for days, marking a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement. The beginnings of the LGBTQ rights movement &#8211; a decade earlier &#8211; is documented in THE LAVENDER SCARE. Premiering on Tuesday, June 18 at 9:00 p.m. ET, the film shares the untold story of how tens of thousands of homosexual federal workers were either fired or denied employment in the 1950s, stirring outrage in the gay community.<\/p>\n<p>The most monumental achievement of 1969 occurred on July 20, when Apollo 11 astronauts Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin and Command Module Pilot Michael Collins became the first crew to successfully land on the moon. With an audience of more than half a billion watching on television, Armstrong planted his foot on the moon and famously proclaimed, &#8220;That&#8217;s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To honor this incredible feat and its 50th anniversary, PBS is offering more than 15 hours of new science and history programming with &#8220;Summer of Space,&#8221; anchored by the epic and highly anticipated &#8220;Chasing the Moon&#8221; on AMERICAN EXPERIENCE. The three-part, six-hour film tells the entire story of the space race, from its earliest beginnings to the first lunar landing. Written and directed by Academy Award nominee Robert Stone, &#8220;Chasing the Moon&#8221; relives the journey that defined a generation. This special event premieres Monday-Wednesday, July 8-10, 9:00-11:00 p.m. ET and the trailer is available online.<\/p>\n<p>Viewers will also take a unique journey with the crew of Apollo 11 for their eight-day, three-hour, 18-minute and 35-second mission in 8 DAYS: TO THE MOON AND BACK, a new BBC Studios documentary co-produced with PBS. Premiering Wednesday, July 17 at 9:00 p.m. ET, the film seamlessly blends authentic, rare mission audio featuring candid conversations between Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins with newly shot studio footage, NASA and news archive, and stunning CGI recreation of the historic journey and landing to tell this amazing story in a riveting new way.<\/p>\n<p>Premiering Wednesday, July 24, limited series ANCIENT SKIES (8:00 p.m. ET) and NOVA &#8220;The Planets&#8221; (9:00 p.m. ET and 10:00 p.m. ET) tell stories of the human quest to understand the universe. In the three-part ANCIENT SKIES (July 24 &#8211; August 7), audiences will discover how centuries of knowledge, experimentation and engineering helped our ancestors explore outer space. Expert contributors demystify astronomical myths with scientific explanations. The five-part NOVA&#8221;The Planets&#8221; (July 24 &#8211; August 14) tells the dramatic story of our solar system, spanning billions of years through the discoveries of the most groundbreaking space missions. The series treats viewers to an up-close look at faraway worlds, including Saturn&#8217;s 45,000-mile-wide rings, Mars&#8217;s ancient waterfalls and Neptune&#8217;s winds &#8211; five times stronger than any hurricane felt on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Summer of Space&#8221; also features new episodes of several viewer favorites, including SECRETS OF THE DEAD &#8220;Galileo&#8217;s Moon&#8221; (Tuesday, July 2, 8:00 p.m. ET), ANTIQUES ROADSHOW &#8220;Out of This World&#8221; (July 8, 8:00 p.m. ET), NOVA &#8220;Back to the Moon&#8221; (Wednesday, July 10, 8:00 p.m. ET), and encores of popular specials like A YEAR IN SPACE (Wednesday, July 17, 8:00 p.m. ET) and BEYOND A YEAR IN SPACE (Tuesday, July 30, 10:00 p.m. ET).

In &#8220;Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation,&#8221;AMERICAN EXPERIENCE brings the three-day concert to life through the voices of those who were present during what became the defining moment of the counter-culture revolution. The film premieres on Tuesday, August 6 at 9:00 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to honoring 1969, PBS&#8217; summer programming provides a window into the worlds of the arts, music, science, history and more.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, June 14 at 9:00 p.m. ET, take the stage with playwright and LGBTQ activist Terrence McNally for a look back at his remarkable career during the premiere of AMERICAN MASTERS &#8220;Terrence McNally: Every Act of Life,&#8221; followed by the 10:30 p.m. ET debut of PBS PREVIEWS: COUNTRY MUSIC, a behind-the-scenes look at COUNTRY MUSIC, the sweeping new series from director Ken Burns.<\/p>\n<p>MASTERPIECE delivers all new episodes of two popular mystery series.
