Johnson, Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughan. \u00a0These women were trailblazers on a number of different fronts. \u00a0Their courage was inspiring! \u00a0The theater broke into applause at least 3 or 4 times during the movie. \u00a0These ladies worked for NASA during the days of the first space exploration&#8230;Katherine G. Johnson in particular is responsible for John Glenn&#8217;s safe orbit of the earth. \u00a0It was especially powerful to see this moving on the day our country has set aside to honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as the biggest barrier these ladies faced was the sin of racism in our country. \u00a0Their courage and humility in the face of very difficult conditions blazed a trail for many who would come behind them&#8230;regardless of gender or skin color&#8230;these ladies made a difference for all of us! \u00a0I sure would love a chance to tell them thank you. \u00a0I&#8217;m so grateful for a movie that gives us a chance to show our appreciation. \u00a0Don&#8217;t miss this movie!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I had the privilege of going to the movies today with several dear friends from school. \u00a0Our movie choice was Hidden Figures about three ladies who purposed in their hearts to make a difference at NASA through their obvious God-given talents and abilities even in the face of much hardship and opposition. \u00a0This movie [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,28,17,32,36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-generosity","category-integrity","category-leadership","category-marriage","category-movie-review"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/meganstrange.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/meganstrange.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/meganstrange.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meganstrange.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meganstrange.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/meganstrange.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10547\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/meganstrange.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meganstrange.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meganstrange.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
