They're having the Hidden Figures author Margaret Lee Shatterly. Nice. Who's I think she is the keynote who's going to speak about Hidden Figures.

Since we've all seen hidden figures at this point... NASA names DC headquarters after its first black woman engineer, hidden figure, Mary Jackson.

I know Katherine Johnson wrote a book, but I like, it became this national sensation with the book and, and the movie.

Now for Hidden Figures which I watched last night so did you it was your first time seeing it ... the whole movie ready like everything was just so fabulous ... it's a historical movie based on a real book.

I love the three women like I couldn't decide who was my favorite ... it kind of reminded me similar to Argo like this is so unbelievable it actually happened and nobody knows about it.

The movie is based on a real book and there are two key moments where they're adding whitesavior stuff that wasn't in the book ... I think when you're saying something is based on a book you should stick to that as much as possible.

So if you think about the book Hidden Figures, that is a popular history book.

I was talking shit about being a white dude...and then this woman yells out 'hidden figures, go see hidden figures'.

And I asked Hidden Figures author Margot Lee Shetterly about what key lessons she would have us learn from this story.

We're featuring my interview with Margot Lee Shetterly, author of the best-selling book Hidden Figures.

and what I can't let go of this week is Mary Jackson and Mary Jackson is one of the women from Hidden Figures obviously she's a real person that just the movie was based on part of her life

Hidden Figures was a bit, I think that was about the state.

Dorothy Vaughan's father always told her, you're no better than anyone else and no one's better than you. The author of the book Hidden Figures said that disposed her to seeing the hardships of her life as fate shared by everyone and her good fortunes as an unearned blessing.

For more on the African American women who worked as human computers for NASA, overcoming discrimination and sexism to change history, we recommend the book "Hidden Figures," by Margot Lee Shetterly.

The brilliant black women computers, portrayed in the hit movie Hidden Figures, were real.
