Exactly what I was thinking—a form of reparations.
That being said, I haven’t seen the movie. It might be quite good and worthy of the award.
yes, but in the cultural context of the times, I am prone to think this was a “gift”.
I did see “Hidden Figures” and it was decent. Although I have heard that film also took liberties—that the toilets weren’t segregated and that John Glenn really didn’t ask for Katherine Johnson....if those reports are accurate, it disappoints me that the movie made a big deal about those incidents.
