She actually built the rockets by hand and then test fired the engines in her spare time, ...when she wasn’t busy teaching Neil Armstrong how to fly a rocket.

[@MadameLadyM]

I love this. I'll make sure that I let my daughter see this.

[@Jenjen-qc5eq]

I just watched the film and I love it, I hope a film about Frederick McKinley Jones who was a Black American who invented a practical automatic refrigeration system for long-haul trucks that transported food, he has over sixty inventions to his name.

[@terrencewilliams9242]

YES!

[@nettiesanders676]

all school children should watch this and shown in schools, regardless of colour or gender, its inspirational to young who will realise that they can achieve anything 😊

[@ario2264]

the film is dishonest propaganda so shouldn't be shown to children.

[@meheretoday6968]

some of the comments below are so rude... just celebrate this ladies achievements and move on because you are only making yourselves look stupid...

Katherine Johnson was born in WAKANDA.

[@edellhotboy23]

why we didn't learn this in High school smh

[@ambalypuff6598]

edellhotboy23 cus white ppl don't want to admit that there are well educated non whites that can do something better than they can, white ppl want to be the only smart race, they're scared of an educated black person, anyone can be smart & we need to push ppl to their potential not bring them down cus they're not what we want them to be

[@itchyeyelids0_0]

I watched hidden figures and know she’s my idol

[@2amazing7]

Glad they accept her in their college.

[@lesleyjohnson2803]

I love this video! Wish I could share it with my 5th grade class, however, calling Katherine a "bad ass" near the end of the video closed that door for me even though I agree.

[@Jeeyaz]

How many times can you say 'black'?

[@datewithdestiny3308]

Jeeya I just said that above.

[@kostaad]

What's cool is that when you look at her in real life, you understand that she is a mixed race, that looks white. But hey, today I guess the color is the only thing that counts.

[@gerrigerri7564]

They are going to say it as many time as they can so no one will think Mrs. Johnson can pass for white!!!! But she can!!!!!

[@LuckyLucky-xp2sz]

Are you triggered? Deal with it.

[@rodster5978]

Jeeya how many died in the arab slave trade?

[@msshannon8379]

I wouldn't have known she was black....

Ms Shannon What do ya mean?

[@Andsuu]

@@pecantan292 she is mixed race but looks White. She can pass by white anytime you won't notice

[@bohal29]

This is a great short bio on an extremely important person. I just wish you wouldn't have used the word "badass" so I could show it to elementary school children.

Why can’t people get this hyped of for actual geniuses like Euclid, Ramanujan, Cauchy, and Abel. I swear to god the only reason people are amazed is that she was black, god do u know hard learning actual math is.

[@highspeeddrag5551]

I wonder if she helped Einstein recalualte gravity too.

[@tickledropstop]

Einstein didnt recalculate gravity. Gravity has always existed in its present form since (and quite possibly before) the big bang. But she was definitely a fully capable physicist that is for sure. But like all things in the 60's it was tough for black women to be given the opportunity to show their fullest potential.

[@highspeeddrag5551]

Really, gravity has always been here? Thanks for the help

[@ChumpyChicken2]

That white gene really gave her that edge!

[@awelch7548]

You are so illiterate.

[@ChumpyChicken2]

A Welch Ooo baby. Truth really hurts.

[@taviondavis1293]

ChumpyChicken2 The truth that only a true idiot would classify race to potential intelligence even though every human uses the same brain capacity and there are those with bigger and smaller frontal cortexes that allow them to think in a more efficiant way. "That white gene" qualitative genes don't hold any potental for intellectual capacity, which means being white doesn't guarantee intelligence, i have a white friend who is dumb as dirt and an asian friend who is also dumb, but I have a black friend who graduated with a 4.2 at a 4.0 classified school with honors, so your input is completely invalid.

[@ChumpyChicken2]

Tavion Davis ok! So you validate my point that Obama was talking up how her black intelligence got man to the moon and a whole range of wankers talking about her colour. She was Indian/African/European.

[@taviondavis1293]

ChumpyChicken2 I do because i don't belive in race intelligence because the only proof for race affecting intellectual capacity is from bias sources or white supremacist propaganda. It doesn't matter what color of the light spectrum your skin cells reflect. Also, race supremicism is false because all humans have the same basic biological make up, same capacity for intelligence, same bodily functions, etc, and saying that "white gene gave her an edge" is false because the "white gene" is only natural selection and enviromental acquisition to the skin, not the neurologic make up. So by logic anyone complaining about race is an troglodyte no matter what color you are it just sounds like your a baby looking for attention when people argue over something so trivial. Slave trade is banned world wide, its in the constitutions all over the world that blacks are humans and jim crowe is illegal, its not coming back so people just have to deal with it and stop complaining like little bratty children.

[@ernestined.lawrence9514]

Dear Korea, thank you for your respect! NASA saw this black woman genius and it put them in space! Einstein saw it and it made him famous! Maybe, if you respect black women you could go to the moon too! Einstein created a way, but she made it work! Meet the genius of flights!

[@ario2264]

you people are so stupid it's incredible

[@donquixote8372]

Wow! It was worst than I can imagine. They have separate restrooms from white and colored, but none for blacks. As you know, black and white are not colors. Colored restrooms are for people like me. How about albinos? Which one do they use?

Too much bling! A bit more about Katherine Johnson, and less about who's working on a movie about her work!

[@kennyried8650]

I thought she was a cleaner because she was black. That was what I was told

[@omargutierrez1501]

If thats black im pail.

[@BERTO3127]

She is an amazing and outstanding American. I grow up that color is for the sky, oceans, car or thing. I was born in Spain and raised in Puerto Rico. Puertoricans and I never called a black Puerto Rican black simply he is a Puerto Rican. USA is 100 years backwards. In Europe is the same a Spaniard is a Spaniard. People need to stop being so ignorant and treat people from their behavior toward yourself not what media or society tells you. Stop being divided.

[@rishabbomma9361]

[@ario2264]

@@rishabbomma9361 this woman is not a genius in any sense she's a low level mathematician who did basic grunt work real mathematicians didn't have time to do and she's being promoted for political reasons.

[@jamster0777]

They are using the term 'black' much. Our racial categories make little sense. There are black humans, many in Africa, India...the term here makes no sense. Just like the equally nonsensical term 'African American' most called such in the US have never been to Africa, parents are not from Africa and can not say 'hello' in any African tongue. Maybe the term 'Colored' was the most accurate of all.

[@annatullison1482]

That because our ancestors FLED to Africa Jimmy after 70 A.D.......they blended in with the Land of the Hammites (African Nation); you from the line of Shem (Semite)! You are correct how can you be a country and continent.

[@tickledropstop]

Colored is also a bad term too. It's too generalized. Asians, Native Americans, and someone like me (im white) is colored too. Because our species brains need to categorize things, simply just dropping all terms and just using the generic "human race" to encapsulate all of us, will never work. The worst of all is using the word "black". Too many subconscious negative connotations that has proven to lead to biases towards that group. But between the three you listed "colored" is the better term.

[@UPEASTHAITIANZ]

She is black or latina

[@divaslowgaming]

OMG, She is not Black! She is highly mixed. This isn't the 1950's anymore. The one drop rule doesn't apply, but all I see are Blacks still practicing it. how ironic, hahaha
