What was not part of Wallace's platform in the 1948 presidential election?

  • Space exploration

  • School desegregation

  • Racial and gender equality

  • Conciliatory policies toward the USSR

Answer

The answer, space exploration, was not part of Wallace's platform in the 1948 presidential election because the concept was still in its infancy and had not yet captured the public's imagination. The United States' first successful space launch would not occur until 1958.
