I am the niece of Katherine Johnson. This is my favorite interview with her. The family is happy she was able to get the recognition she earned for her years of hard work. We are celebrating her life and I know her legacy will be felt for years.

I am totally upset that as a black woman with a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics, Mrs. Johnson was NEVER mentioned in any of my classes. Grace Hopper is the only female mathematician mentioned! How awful and disgraceful it is that such a trailblazing pioneer in STEM was overlooked and left out of educational materials! I am so glad she finally received the recognition she deserves. Kudos to you Mrs. Johnson, thank you for your service!

"If you loose your curiosity then you stop learning" wise words

Who came to here after watching hidden figures?

RIP Katherine Johnson, our country has lost a National treasure.

I'm an african woman who's done Aeronautical engineering and it's sad that I only learned of Mrs. Johnson after watching hidden figures and in retrospect, of all the courses, the advanced calculus, thermodynamics and aerodynamics that I was taught in that classroom, I would have tremendously enjoyed a history lesson on such like pioneers of Aerospace and Aeronautical engineering....

I am so shocked that this important history was never mentioned. The movie coming out is the only way it was brought to my attention. Her life is so amazing!
-
I am so shocked that the smartest were not given the opportunity to shine. Katherine Johnson's father is one example and what a difference he could have made in the field of mathematics

HIDDEN FIGURES is absolutely 100% one of my fave movies that I will still definitely watch when I grow old. Just makes me proud to be a woman even though I am no math genius.

How could this amazing women not be in our history books? Shameful,...just shameful. This interviewer is damn good. I like her too. God Bless you Mrs. Johnson.

I love how she just casually says she skipped a couple of grades! #epic

The Prof. Dr. W. W. S. Claytor was an african American professor. I just looked him up after hearing her say his name. This is incredible. I don't think teaxhers and professors realize how much influence they have over a child's life. Thank God that this meeting was orchestrated. To steer her in that direction especially since she was srudying French.

What good does it do you to go to space? Katherine Johnson responds, "What good does it do you to stay at home?"
-
Love how she says that "it was easy" when talking about calculating trajectory
-
This video is almost 6 years old and yet is it is so relevant, especially as she gives her final thought on immigration, lack of documentation and our future. Wow. Katherine Johnson is a National Treasure. Imagine if she had not been able to go to School.

Rest in your peace Mrs. Johnson. ðŸ˜.

As a Haitian-American male Katherine G. Johnson is one of my new hero. I went to elementary, middle, high school, and university in northern California. Such a shame during all the years of learning, I wasn't introduce to this genius.
-
I am reading for the second time "Hidden Figures " and I decided to look up Dr. Johnson on YouTube. This is an excellent interview with an American icon. Thank you for all you've done Dr. Johnson. God bless you and may you rest in peace.

I believe she has opened a new door to me to not feel fear of math but to appreciate it

I just watched the movie hidden figures yesterday. She is s true African American hero . I never knew about her until recently. We need to teach children about history
