Hidden Figures is a powerful and inspiring film that highlights the brilliant Black women who worked behind the scenes during the early days of the U.S. space program. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it—it’s absolutely worth watching.

That woman is not black.
She may choose to identify as black but....
I'm just going to shut up before I get into trouble

Yeah they leave out that they were a few out of hundreds that helped. Made it seem like they did it all. Congrats

Relax, snowflake. I’m pretty sure those people already get a lot of credit. Except on the poliboard of course, where they’re viewed as evil.

This is a more interesting story-
wikipedia with all the details- LINK
quote:
Kathryn Johnston (June 26, 1914 – November 21, 2006)[1] was an elderly woman from Atlanta, Georgia who was killed by undercover police officers in her home on Neal Street in northwest Atlanta on November 21, 2006, where she had lived for 17 years. Three officers had entered her home in what was later described as a 'botched' drug raid.[2][3][4] Officers cut off burglar bars and broke down her door using a no-knock warrant.[5] Police said Johnston fired at them and they fired in response; she fired one shot out the door over the officers' heads and they fired 39 shots, five or six of which hit her.[3][6] None of the officers were injured by her gunfire, but Johnston was killed by the officers. Police injuries were later attributed to friendly fire from each other's weapons.[2][3][6]
One of the officers planted marijuana in Johnston's house after the shooting.[7][8] Later investigations found that the paperwork stating that drugs were present at Johnston's house, which had been the basis for the raid, had been falsified.[3] The officers later admitted to having lied when they submitted cocaine as evidence claiming that they had bought it at Johnston's house.[7] Three officers were tried for manslaughter and other charges surrounding falsification, convicted, and sentenced to ten, six, and five years, respectively.[3]

Any black history should be apart of American History. Teach it as such. This bullshite month is nothing more than tokenism. And has been hijacked by the progs and used to spread lies and stretch the truth.

Johnson was one of the best. John Glenn wouldn't board the rocket unless she checked the numbers.

you believe what you've heard about that on tv and in black history month ads?

Until we get a white history month, asian history month, and any other race history month, I will not engage in this bigoted ritual of only acknowledging a single race and its history.
