Katherine Johnson has passed away since this video was made at the ripe old age of 101 (All three of the women in this film lived very long lives).

The movies Hidden Figures was good movie but the book Hidden Figures is so much better and informative not just about lives of Johnson, Jackson and Vaughn but also many of their fellow computers.

Thank you for creating this video. It's exactly what I was looking for after seeing the movie and reading a few reviews! I was really surprised to see that only 27 people have watched this video.

This video was amazing, and it deserves every bit of attention it got! I loved that this film, while making up a few details for emotional impact, was mostly true to life. I saw this film in theaters when it came out and it's STILL one of my favorite films to this day.

I've seen the show probably a dozen times and I will watch it every time it comes on because it's such a darn good movie

Woow those women are my true heroes

This was one of the greatest movies I have ever seen, top 5 all time for sure.

this video is amazing! can’t believe i found this. what an amazing way for me to learn about hidden figures

Genius is a good arguement! Especially when employed against 'dumb'. History that deserves to be remembered. Presidential order 8802 is good to remember too.

That was a great movie, the real history is even greater than that!

Thank you nice work

Hello, do you have the sources for the facts part? I'm doing a work on Katherine Johnson for college, and i would love to know what are your sources.

Fact check: NASA was not established until 1958 and therefore could not have been involved in hiring any one in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. However NASA's predecessor the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was active at that time having been establish in 1915.

Jack Crenshaw accomplished EVERYTHING the movie stated.... why not a movie about him?>

👍👍👍👍👍

Vamos ver o filme pessoal ...🌈💘🌚😎😬🤩😍

i liked the video

2:18 No! It wasn’t! They worked at NASA. Segregation ended when NACA became NASA

There were no segregated bathrooms at NASA

I don’t get why movies about real events make shit up half the time. I know the “shut up it is just a movie and only meant to entertain” argument, but it ruins my entertainment if I have to wonder if any of the “inspiring true story” really happened. These women were amazing, the spacerace was amazing, and I didn’t need the added drama.

Pity you could not include the total clip of Johnson at the awards ceremony.

at 4:05 is that a picture of Nichelle Nichols

So, "artistic license" was taken to actually make NASA's "endemic" racism seem so much more severe than it actually was. Hollywood at its finest! Even in these modern times, Hollywood is still stuck in a 1960's, racist time-warp. It's kinda' like that time when Will Smith got bitch-slapped on a stage way back in '22 by White character-actor Tim Allen ... .

THAT’S MY SISTER

My maths lecturer informed me that women are 0-25 percent in maths, men are 25-50 in maths and then there is a huge gap up to the 97-100 per cent where women dominate the field.

It’s weird to think, that horrible kind of racism, this evil were happening only decades ago. I’m 53yo British-Mauritian, my parents left Mauritius because of racism within their families because my father was Asian-Mauritian and my mother was light skinned Mauritian-Creole. There’s always been conflicts between the Asian and Creole on the island. My parents only crime was falling in love. Even at the time of my birth there were Apartheid’s segregation, which meant had I been born there, my parents would have been criminals, my father would be in prison and my mother in segregation and my siblings and I would have been put in orphanages for being mixed. Anyway, you think that was long ago history, but there’s still so much institutionalised racism going on and America is the worst for it with the raise of the “karens effect” and because of those “white privileged”, together with the raising racism amongst “cops”, black and minority are being targeted and even murdered by white people, why? We can enjoy movies like Hidden Figures, based on historic facts, but it really doesn’t mean anything if people are still being killed by acts of racism, that’s all I’m saying

this isnt fking show. this is hardcore .. USA wouldnt be as great as it is nowdays without these People von braun ....German...Oppenheimer....no comment but a brillant mind and so on. in my eyes US is just blinded by the greenbeck....Greed.

Les gens de l'euro a pjb en force 💪

They didn't know each other. That's worse! And she's high yellow

Bull Shit!!

The real genius of the moon landings who never receives any recognition was the nazi rocket scientist Wernher von Braun and putting aside these women contributions great as they were would not have made a jot of difference had they never been included this is just another woke film!

Calling these women or anyone else African-American is so disrespectful. Why do they only use hyphenated names for minorities? It is like saying you are less of an American than a white person. You don't call white Americans European-Americans. And I know some one will bring up slavery and black people being forced to come here. To that I say so what, slavery is over, we are all just Americans.
