- Born in 1918, Katherine Johnson was one of the first Black students to integrate West Virginia’s graduate schools before becoming a NASA mathematician, where she helped send astronauts into orbit around Earth and to the moon and back. She is an awardee of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the 2020 recipient of the Hubbard Medal, National Geographic’s highest honor, recognizing a lifetime achievement in research, discovery, and exploration.

What do you find most inspiring about Katherine Johnson's story?
The way she kept going on and loving maths even though she was discriminated for her race and gender. Nowadays it is rare to see people like her, hardworking, passionate about her studies and persevering even in the darkest storms. I'm not a person who loves maths, but I love physics, especially astronomy. Seeing someone with such love, determination and skills is really inspiring. People like her need to be known and respected. I am truly in awe and I hope she rests in peace after giving mankind such a big opportunity and proving that no matter what race, gender or age you are, your passion and determination can change the world and give hope to others. RIP Katherine Johnson. We'll make sure your legacy lives on.
The fact that she can move children to believe and see an opportunity for growth through adversity! You can see it in the children’s eyes! Thank you Katherine .

Is it true that National Geographic have removed the Gina Carano episode from Season 6 of Running Wild with Bear Grylls? Katherine Johnson would be appalled at the prejudice in Disney and National Geographic's treatment of Gina Carano.
Endurance
It is honestly so sad that hardly anyone knew about her until the movie Hidden Figures came out. She should have enjoyed a much larger appreciation for her talent.
now think about the people that say the moon landing is fake
And if Ron & the boys have their way her accomplishments will disappear.

i keep saying the very same thing! but on the other hand that movie i always reference every chance i get to help spread the word about their stories.....FUN FACT did u know that Nichel Nichols was actually the person the very person who came up with the very program that Katherine was able to join under?
And think about all the Black accomplishments that never will be known...
A lot of in history doesn’t have enough recognition to great people like her. I’m glad I was able to watch this video!
You need to watch hidden figures.
@@incognito96 Thank you!

So many females & black females have had to live with frustration & anger when they know they are equally as clever if not more so than their male counterparts. Margaret Thatcher had a degree in bio chemistry from Oxford & a degree in law & was asked in 1972 if there would be a female PM in her lifetime. Such a nitwit fatuous question.
@@incognito96 I read the book & watched the film, I couldn't get enough of it. Brilliant. Awe inspiring.
The film hidden figures inspired me to get through my learning disability in math, have more confidence with learning new things with math and not be afraid to ask for help when I need it 🗃
😍😍😍
👏👏👏 for you, Sophia! Thanks for sharing your story with us.
@@NatGeo pog
A fitting tribute to a great woman who is an inspiration to many.
A true hero 🙌
For her 3 daughters it was normal to have a mother who as good at math. Lucky them to have had such a trailblazing mother.
Truly an amazing and inspirational woman. And she made it 102 years. What a legend.
May she rest in peace! She is a big inspiration to all of us!
A credit to science and humanity. Thank you
What a woman. My 5 year old daughter learned all about her a few months ago and I was so excited for her.
She is obsessed with space now just like her dad 😂😂😂
Excellent!!!
Ma'am , None of the people on Earth had the ability to judge your ability! You deserved everything in life! I am grateful to you!
My people are brilliant. Her contribution to science gives me so much pride and if she can do it 60 years ago, we can do it today. We're standing on her shoulders. Thank you Miss Johnson and your family. 🙏
She was a brilliant mixed race woman. That doesn't make every mixed race people brilliant, just like one brilliant Jew doesn't make every Jew brilliant.
@@Eikinkloster lol that’s what you got from that? Okay gollum
@@Trump20-24years anyone can be brilliant, with the right set of genes :-)
@@Eikinkloster ah so you are a eugenicist admirer. Explains a lot. You are clearly gone.
contributed nothing major 🙄
Crying my eyes of proudness! Thank you for sharing her story! What a trailblazer she has always been!
Why you cry, baby? You ain't from Katherine's tribe. You from James Hong tribe. From Michelle Yeoh tribe. You cry for what, babe? You should no cry. You should happy. Me make you happy. Me luuuv you looong time.
@@JacobNightingale what
This video wanted to make me cry the whole way through
Katherine Johnson was an American Hero!
There should be no distinction between American & African American. Indeed you are right she was an American & a hero.
OMG, she's a lovely woman. Super classy and seems really wise. I love her eventhough don't know much about her. Rest in peace. ❤️
So beautiful..she was smart and aged very well...Thank you
what an inspiration!
I didn't know of her
Thx for sharing!
Bless Dr. Katherine Johnson!!!!!
Her first job ever was in the town I live in- Marion, Virginia- at a black public school named
The Carnegie School- in 1937, as a teacher, right before Hampton and NASA.
Were she a mathematics teacher?! 🤔
@@majidal-wabsi6701 Very good question. I'm pretty sure she taught a variety of subjects including mathematics.
'Like Always' in the end finally got me teary eyed, such an inspiration.
We need more like her more then ever.
Every generation has people like her, it just takes someone giving them an opportunity to shine!
I'm here after watching Hidden Figures. Such a wonderful and brilliant person!
Amazing person on so many different levels - thanks Katherine - we all appreciate what you did - Cheers :)
One great thing about this movie was it shined a light on a hidden history and people myself and many others knew nothing about. Knowing that your calculations held life and death for the people sent to space must have been a sobering experience. One of these days when we start naming spacecraft again, her name should be on one, I figure (pun intended) it will be a lucky ship!
Im so proud of her
This woman’s mind is outstanding and above another level.
ThThe bronze figure is absolutely wonderful!
What an excellent answer from her professor. You would make a good Math researcher . What is that? The instructor fired her imagination with “That’s for you to find out”. Such American hero’s.
Here’s a fantastic woman and what a cracking film thank you for showing us the way
Thank you Queen. Thank you
Brilliant mind and a great attitude 👍🚀
"Hidden Figures ".
Hmmm. Great history movie. Took me back to the era of 1950's.
The electric coffee pot, mom had one.
The Nash Metropolitan, my dad owned one and beat a Jaguar in a race going backwards, on Gravel! My that was fun!
The TV's in the store window.
Sweaters.
The line up folks alongside the road.
Oh so many memories, though not all good.
Awesome Lady indeed ‼️👍👍👍
just watched Hidden Figures.. wow just wow
I have watched that movie at least 7 times. It gives me such inspiration for any difficulty that I'm facing. I am so proud of these 3 women.
So thankful for her.
Inspiring , a great Documentary. Hello from the UK 🇬🇧 😀.
Thank you ❤️
A great inspiration, a great mathematician, and a great person. I'd like to watch "Hidden Figures" because it fits me on that beyond, not just a person but also part of her story as well. We loved you and you will be missed at all.
Amazing narration national geographic
She is Truely Inspiring
The day Humans come together as one will be the day we will achieve even more life changing feats
Mrs. Johnson made a tremendous contribution to the aerospace industry and inspired generations of young women.
Wonderful tribute to this remarkable woman
She was amazing!
Why did we not learn about these women in school. They were extraordinary and we missed out on learning about them. Shame on the Education System.
If we all stuck together..and listened !and talked to each other..we could (would be) better off no matter what creed..we are all human we all breath the same air..we come from the same soil ...
We die the same.
@@bolasblancas420 yes with the billions maybe trillions wasted on us killing each other..that money could be used to help others in need....but there's no profit in that..cure for cancer/arthritis and arthritis and autism etc..
I didn’t know anything about those ladies why they are so amazing thank you I’m very proud of y’all very proud ❤
National Geographic will cross 1 billion subscribers if they brings this type of content. Salute to National Geographic team for creating this type of content 👍👍👍👍
Keep Going !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One billion?
Thank you for your contributions to NASA, the country, and the world as a whole ✌️♥️
She still love to receive letter from the kids.... that shows her inner personality
Truly inspirational, a groundbreaker in so many ways.
Overcoming so many hurdles. So much for we are all created equal.
Skills like beauty are the privilege of few. She is an American icon and an example for all.
Katherin Johnson is amazing of what she did
Ive always love from the movie hidden figures 🥺❤️
bless her!
Thank you♥️
Got to know HER story firstly through the film ‘Hidden Figure’
...inspiring...
Muito obrigado,pela ciência
Rest in Paradise
At 14, I got 13/100 in mathematics.I did my best and got 62/100 at 15.
Waw g les larmes aux yeux .
Thanks mam
Thank you
..............INCRÍVEL...................ESPETACULAR.....
Excuse me, Miss Johnson, we need you to double check our computational figures. We don't trust our computers yet. This woman is an inspiration for all young women and a personal hero of mine, and she is now a star in the heavens, and her light will never dim or fade away.🖤
Epic memories and even today we have to be ashemed for anybody looking at you wrong for your coulor skin.
Hidden Figuers highly recommended movie beautiful story
What an absolutely amazing woman.
Marvelous!
Shes a hero😇😍😍
She's inspiration 💛
What a beautiful, accomplished, beyond intelligent woman💞🥰🥰🥰🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰🥰
Wonderful woman R.I.P.🎉
Amazing. 🎊🎊🇮🇳
I have never heard of this until now reminds me of the saying the more i learn the less i know
you don't need a cape to be a hero.
please create content about the KM ship accident. Tanto Shining vs TB. Mitra Jaya XIX vs TK. Makmur Abadi the accident occurred on January 23, 2021. Losing 5 crew members, OPSAR is currently being stopped due to weather problems.
"The women ,which was came on earth to teach humans , that they can travel in the entire Galaxy ". . respect from India .🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I am not smart but, it is great to know there is a woman who was smart and went beyond to show she could do what many only dream of.
Amen..
John Gienn trusted her calculations more than those of the computer
Its only within the last 2-3 years I’ve heard about the astounding contributions to spaceflight made by this black math prodigy.
1. Mind boggling calculations to put US astronauts in orbit (1962)
2. She did the calculations for the legendary Apollo 11 lunar module moon landings in 1969.
3. As if that wasn’t enough for a 100 lifetimes achievement, she then calculated the trajectory to guide the doomed Apollo 13 spacecraft back to earth in 1970,
Saving the astronauts lives.
I’m ashamed to only know of this black woman’s staggering accomplishments 50 years too late. This was exactly the ‘rocket fuel’ role model motivation that could have helped me and many other clever black kids of my generation growing up under difficult or circumstances in the 1970s.
Subtítulos por favor. Entiendo poco.
Got that thing in my eyes again
wow
Pioneer
Truly amazing story and movie. I’m glad I got to see it and to see Obama give her the Presidential Medal of Freedom
I literally just finished hidden figures a hour ago. Coincidence?
Nice...!!
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for uploading. I got the chance to see a rocket launch in 2018. Amazing experience. I uploaded a pretty cool montage of the trip to my page.
Imagine the days without internet and high speed computers.... I wish to better understand how the older generations achieve everything.
I will watch it later.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
She needs her own day. Without her none of us would have been here
Pretty sure we still would..
WOW...She is so inspiring. Thank you
hidden figures brought me here🙂❤️
AMAZING!!!
She is my back history project
Apart from Hidden Figures her character was in Timeless
What a woman from the greatest generation rest in peace kathlyn Johnson✌
