hidden figures
what an amazing film! especially to see over martin luther king jr. weekend.
i highly recommend this true story of the unsung math heros of NASA's colored computer department in the 1960's.
namely the story of katherine johnson and her brilliant mind whom john glenn personally requested to compute his return orbit from friendship 7 missions.
johnson, 98, is still alive and highly encourages young women to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). i've included a picture of her receiving a medal of honor from president obama.
