GREAT GIFT FOR GIRLS!

Katherine Johnson has been called "the girl who loved to count". Â She said, â€œI counted everythingâ€¦ anything that could be counted, I did.â€ She has become famous as one of the subjects of a bestselling book by Margot Lee Shetterly, called Hidden Figures. The book told about black women math experts who helped put men on the moon. Â It was made into a movie, also called Hidden Figures, with Taraji P. Henson playing Johnson. Â
Before she became famous, she had to get an education and to work hard. She learned to make the most of the opportunities that came her way. Â Johnson and most African-Americans had to deal with prejudice in every part of their life.
Women continue to be treated by different standards than men, even today, but in the 1960â€™s it was a thousand times harder for women and a million times harder for African â€“American Women to become successful or accomplished in any field. This story describes some of the difficulties and the many accomplishments Katherine Johnson experienced in her life.
