The Historical Context: Hidden Figures

Step back into the 1960s — a time of contradictions. America was racing to the moon, yet segregation still divided the nation. While President John F. Kennedy challenged the country to “choose to go to the moon,” African American women at NASA were breaking barriers in silence.

This video explores the true historical context behind Hidden Figures:

The Space Race and the Cold War rivalry with the Soviet Union.

The Civil Rights Movement and life under Jim Crow segregation.

The untold stories of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson.

Why their brilliance was hidden from history until Margot Lee Shetterly’s book and the 2016 film brought them to light.
Their legacy proves that genius knows no color and no gender — only courage and determination.
