The Amazing Untold Story Of NASA’s Brilliant African-American Female Scientists | NBC Nightly News
Wow America/American 🤮
I don’t think that the character who played Kathrine Johnson did a good enough job. The real lady has a much grater aura that the actress portrays in the film. There are other actresses that would have done a better job.
That's a White Woman with Black in her..
Miss Johnson looks to be about a quarter black…
I always cry when I watch the ending of "Hidden Figures" it makes me happy that these women have their stories recognized and have made these great achievements to help America win the Space Race. I love each and every one of them. 🥰🥰
They are more genetically white lol
Finally at 101, Katherine Johnson soared into the heavens like the astronauts she aided… "Let the angels of Thy loving-kindness descend successively upon her, and shelter her beneath Thy blessed Tree. Thou art, verily, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous, the All-Bountiful." ~ Baha'i Prayer
Thats a white women.
"I'm here because you made possible" such a powerful message
About time Truth is Told!
Are blacks going to take over white folks M.K. Ultra mind control weapon technology one day .. I don't think so .. we allow you to live. Whites will never lose full power because of mind control weapon technology forever.. you blacks are nobodies!
To say we would have no space program without her might be just a tad bit stretching it. But hey she’s a hero either way.
I can see she is black but her skin color is very light.
Hello, my name is Kathy Cotton, documentary filmmaker. Have you heard of the African American Pioneers of Silicon Valley? I have completed a documentary film about the contributions
made by Black Americans to some of the most successful companies in the nation. "A Place at the Table" gives voice to Black Americans that have made significant
contributions to the success of many silicon valley giants. This is a 50 minute film created to increase the awareness of these highly successful people.
The documentary can be streamed into you classroom or theater from://vimeo.com/ondemand/141122
There is nothing African about this woman.
American is most baster nation in the world.
Why is she white?
WE WUZ ASTRONAUTS N SHEEIT
america is comical is this woman black?
If you want to age, that's how you want to age. What a gracious lady.
The story of Katherine Johnson makes me feel so very proud. I have been watching interviews with her on YouTube, I love, love, love, this woman! It's a shame we were never taught about her in school. I certainly hope from now on children will learn about her in schools.
This is a wonderful story and understand why It's so special, but we shouldn't be surprised. There are gifted human beings that should be supported and listened up, regardless their gender, nationality, race etc.
These women should have been talked about to empower young women and children and we miss 50+ years of knowing these incredible stories.
NBC IS THE FAKE NEWS EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT.
NASA? We pay Russia $80 million each for getting our astronauts to the space station. We are too busy playing house with the rest of the world to have our own space program.
Yeah but I never knew anything about any of the NASA scientists, black or not
They love to hide our history, so sad America is just terrible! But changes are finally coming!!
