This would have been an interesting topic to learn about in school. This would have a great history lesson in school. In school learning about the "Hidden Figures" women would have been fun and interesting for everyone.

There are no borders to racism. Controlling your knowledge of history controls your thoughts and actions, which dictates your present and helps to mold a certain desired future.

It’s because she had red hair, blue eyes and white skin. She was not a majority black. There’s in color pics of her youth.

Ms. Johnson's legacy continues to inspire!

It's in her DNA. Go Girl 👧 👏 💪. It's in Your GENES

I wish I would have learned about all 3 of these amazing women

I did too, but am now apparently learning it wasn’t as told. Was not expecting her to have red hair blue eyes and white skin but somehow at 10% she’s black? The law at the time even in the south was 1/5th makes you black, ms Johnson was considered white at the time... only now do we consider her black. Wow right ? And there was no team of other blacks, just women counters. 2:16 these history movies always trick me and then I’m let down when I find the truth

I learned algebra in 9th grade. She's starting early.

Look at all those men sitting there trying to “celebrate” women. I’ll wait til there’s an equal number before watching the today show again. Not only that, but psychologists have known for a very long time that it’s Nature _AND_ Nurture which makes any kind of person. There is never an instance where it’s purely one or the other.

I'll bet, I'll almost guarantee it, that Ms. Johnson in her illustrious career, did not constantly talk about her "blackness", her racial identity. She forged ahead knowing she was good at her work, took pride in her accomplishments, and did not lodge constant complaints about black this, and black that. THIS is the kind if person more blacks and woke whites should emulate, not the identity race hucksters of today.

If you saw the movie, but especially read the book (sorry, no pics in it), then you would understand that her 'blackness" and racial identity were very evident and constantly targeted. Why talk about it when everything and everyone around you made it a handicap that she had to overcome unlike her coworkers and their "whiteness". The problem is that if she had been more vocal, she would have lost her job or worse. The best that she could do at that time is what she did and that is be better than all those around her, which was damninig to them. Because that flew in the face of all that they knew about not just blacks, but women, also. And if she complained, who was she going to complain to? The same power structure that kept her and her people in their place.

People of her generation didn't really talk about it. What they tried to do was live as best they could within the restrictions which were absolutely there. "Talking" about it could get you killed as what happened to Medger Evers and MLK Jr.
