Katherine Johnson the Mathematician #africanamericanhistory #historicalfacts

The incredible story of Katherine Johnson, the African-American mathematician whose calculations helped launch astronauts into space! Born in 1918, Katherine's love for math took her from high school at age 10 to graduating college with highest honors. Despite facing racial and gender discrimination, her brilliant mind and determination led her to NASA in 1953.

Amen to this brilliant lady who with other Black women helped to send U.S. Astronauts into space. This was also during the time of segregation and Jim Crow in the state of Virginia. RIP 🙏🏾

Catherine Johnson was brilliant. I've always known how very smart women are. I was very smart as a child. The only person smarter than I was was my female classmate. No matter how high my grades were, I couldn't touch her brilliance. My smartest Professors in college were also three Ph. D's, who were all women.

So much the system kept hidden from us and now that we have knowledge we won’t go back to the old system
