Hidden Figures!! So yesterday my classmates and I went to the movies to watch a new movie that just came out named Hidden Figures. At first the movie was kind of boring but then after about 45 minutes into the movie we started to see how 3 black women made history. It was a good movie because it showed how racism divided people back in those days. Everyone was basically divided into 2 groups which were blacks and whites. The movie showed us how 3 intelligent women who no one had faith in but did something incredible. They were treated different because of their skin color. They had to use different bathrooms different busses and even different coffee making machines. Everyone disliked the black women but they proved themselves to everyone. One of the women was named Mae Jemison she is an American engineer, physician and NASA astronaut. She became the first African-American woman to travel into space when she to space into orbit on the Endeavour space shuttle on September 12, 1992. Another one of the 3 ladies is Katherine Johnson , Katherine Johnson was a mathematician and computer scientist who was born on August26,1918 she was one of the first black women working in that section of NASA.
