Three Black women held top math jobs at NASA during the Space Race. The country treated them as second-class citizens. They changed history anyway.
A must-read for anyone who loves true stories of courage, science, and American history.

OK, so I'm #NowWatching #HiddenFigures and it's really tough going.
The story is great, the acting is wonderful, the photography brilliant, etc.
The blatant #racism makes me deeply angry.
I know it's a movie, but to know that the attitudes on display were real, and in many (too damned many) cases still are, is triggering. This old white male, steeped in unearned #privilege, has to keep pausing to take a deep breath.

A book about a woman in STEM - September 24, 2025 - The nonfiction account of the black women working at NASA is much more detailed, contains more history, and has more characters than the movie version. However, this is one time that I think the movie is much more entertaining. Whichever way you prefer to digest it, this is important information to know.
Rating ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Did you know that our film guides feature introductions to the films?
They also almost always include a letter from the filmmaker and/or a filmmaker profile, and sometimes include behind the scenes stories about the making of the film.
Many of our film guides include #MediaLiteracy lessons tied to that specific film, and we also offer more generally applicable media literacy and #FilmLiteracy lessons and teaching tools as well. For example, our #SchindlersList guide includes a letter from Steven Spielberg with an amazing story from the film set. Our #Wadjda film guide includes a profile on Haifaa al-Mansour, the first woman film director in Saudi Arabia. And our #HiddenFigures guide explores shooting scripts with real script pages from the film.
Our film guides are free for everyone. Whether you're an educator, an individual learner or a film fan, check out our resource library to learn more.
