I have only the film to go by. It portrayed her and others as walking an outrageous distance to get to a Colored Only restroom, through all kinds of weather. It also showed her “superiors” belittling her and browbeating her when she told them things they didn’t like. So she was a sweet lady, a team player and “knew her place”. That doesn’t excuse how she and others were treated. I am not a bleeding heart. I think the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, et al should have been exposed and put in their place long ago. But honest, diligent people are a whole different category.
Except almost none of that was true!
Here is one article about the historical fraud of “Hidden Figures”:

I’m from jackson miss
62 years old
Colored only and segregated pools ended early 60s
We were forcibly bused Christmas break 1969 by Supreme Court order
First city forced to bus for racial parity
Killed the public schools and jackson proper same stroke
Houston area would not have had segregation longer than us
You cannot base history on race from a movie anymore than you’d expect Nazis to translate the Talmud honestly
The Help
Another lying movie about a family I grew up with and knew the dad quite well
Just bullshit from yankeefied daughter
The south is 25-40% black
Even higher in the old days
Nobody and I mean nobody from 1850s on outside the south with tiny black populations has our perspective of sharing the same space with enough blacks thst it matters
I lived much of the 80s in Manhattan
Non southerners love to preach but they are less inclusive to blacks than we were and with fewer to deal with
But urban liberals run the media and the narrative
South bad
Yankees noble and righteous
Can I have a Battle Hymn of the Republic please
We get tired of being judged about blacks from Burlington or Kalisipel or Sioux City
We don’t lord over you and your dead Indians
And we are the last redoubt vote wise
If yankees would just stay away
