Hidden Figures is the story of three remarkable women....Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson. They were part of the computer pool in the early days of NASA, responsible for the mathematical calculations necessary for early space flight.

One of them went on to be an engineer, but needed to take a night course at a segregated school to qualify. She got the permission, by asking.

There's some over-dramatization about walking long distances to get to a Ladies Room that wasn't "whites only" and being stopped by the police. But except for that, it was the story of three very bright ladies who didn't need affirmative action or lower standards to get a job.

I suspect that's what bothers the elite. The idea that black women could get ahead in a highly competitive and challenging environment without having to be granted favors by the powers that be shatters every prejudice the agenda of the elite is based on. It's very empowering for young black women who aren't told often enough that they don't need special exceptions in order to succeed. The movie tells us that things were getting better a long time ago, until big gov and political correctness got involved.
