Dr. Gladys West: The Hidden Figure Behind GPS Technology

[@kipben14]

It was my great honor to be long involved in her medical care along with her wonderful husband Ira. They spoke with great pride of their grandson Andre, seen on this video as an adult. I knew they were both mathematicians, but they NEVER spoke of her great achievements. I only learned of that much later online. They were both very elegant, soft spoken and kind humble persons. God bless them both.

Wow! She's amazing! She proved to the world how high intelligent she was and still is. She should be part of history lesson schools

[@angelpilato721]

[@adam55719]

These things are never disclosed in general discussions

[@HailEarendil]

Because it's a lie.

[@janellvirtuouswoman4896]

This makes us proud as a people!!

[@LB_Symphony]

Forget the school system, educate yourself and teach your kids about black history. They don't teach these in schools today

What an amazing woman with an equally amazing mind.

[@rayamanelly]

Conservatives should be proud that this is even part of American history instead of omitting it, and should be touted as part of their message.

[@jeffkatt]

She's one of many black Americans that made awesome contributions to the world. GPS discovery is as big and important as personal phone are globally.

[@HailEarendil]

She didn't discover gps.

Amazing that blacks never stop stealing the achievements and culture of literally everyone else on the planet.

[@beforeyourimmigrants8471]

She a great Foundational black American. Hopefully she inspires Africans and Caribbeans

She didn't invent anything. This is a lie. This is like me saying, I invented electricity after screwing in a light bulb.

[@megaman42951]

This kind of information must be excruciatingly painful to you! It kicks your stereotypes of Black Folk square in the nuts😂😅

[@HailEarendil]

@@megaman42951 It actually reinforces the stereotype that they have to lie and appropriate other's culture & achievements to make it seem as if they have contributed anything to humanity.. Because the reality is..they haven't. WE WUZ KAAAAANGGGGZZZZ!!!

[@HailEarendil]

@@megaman42951 This is like saying an accountant invented the calculator. Reality check.. If blacks are so inventive and smart, why is Africa still a complete wasteland bereft of civilization?

[@xchamonx_]

THEY SAID LAID THE GROUND WORK!!!

[@HailEarendil]

@@xchamonx_ Black history is full of some of the most ahistorical lies to ever exist.
