When Brilliance Defied Segregation
In the early 1960s, as America raced to put a man in space, astronaut John Glenn made an unusual request before his historic orbital mission. Despite having cutting-edge IBM computers calculating his trajectory, Glenn insisted: "Get the girl to check the numbers." That "girl" was Katherine Johnson, a brilliant Black mathematician whose calculations would prove vital to America's space program. This moment captures the extraordinary paradox at the heart of NASA's early success - the agency relied on the mathematical genius of Black women who weren't even allowed to use the same bathrooms as their white colleagues. These women weren't just hidden figures in America's space race; they were hidden figures in American history itself, their contributions obscured by both gender and race despite their pivotal role in one of humanity's greatest achievements.
