NASA on Friday officially renamed a West Virginia facility in honor of Katherine Johnson, an African-American mathematician whose work for NASA in the 1960s inspired the movie “Hidden Figures.”

The center is now known as the Katherine Johnson Independent Verification and Validation Facility.

Staff at the Fairmont facility are responsible for making sure the software on NASA’s high-profile missions runs safely and successfully, the center’s website states.

Jim Bridenstine, NASA’s administrator, said the facility carries on Johnson’s legacy of “mission-critical computations.”​

She looks less "black" than half white Obama. NASA bows to the one drop rule to satisfy political correctness.

Can the Achmed bldg be far behind?

It was a good movie. It would have been better if Kostner wasn't in it.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

She was from WEST VIRGINIA. That's got to be a problem for the tards here.

She was still prohibited from using white restrooms

As you said "she was still prohibited from using white restrooms"

Those old school democrats were some Racist SOB's,

Same as today, If they had their way today they wouldn't

allow Jews to use our restrooms...
