Lucas Elementary Families
Free Movie Screening of Hidden Figures
Thanks to a generous donation from a former Lucas Elementary
parent
and the Lucas Elementary PTO
The Movie: Hidden Figures is
based on the inspiring true story of three brilliant African-American women who
worked at NASA in the 1950s and '60s as "human computers" -- making
calculations and contributions that helped launch the manned spaceflight
program. Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer), Mary Jackson (Janelle MonĂ¡e), and Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) were engineers and
computers at NASA at a time when both women and African Americans were still
widely discriminated against, particularly in segregationist Virginia. where
NASA's Langley Research Center is based. The film also offers a realistic look
at the racial tensions of the Civil Rights era (segregated bathrooms,
libraries, schools, facilities), and audiences will learn a lot about these
pioneering women and what they had to overcome to make their mark at NASA.
They're excellent role models, and their story is full of positive messages and
themes, including integrity, perseverance, teamwork, and communication. (https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/hidden-figures)

Also, John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth recently died AND Katherine Johnson, who calculated the trajectory for NASA's first orbit, received the 2015 Presidential Medal of Freedom.
