Sometimes Hollywood does a good job and tells a meaningful story. This movie represents one of these times. Before watching Hidden Figures, I did know know about Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson. It was nice to watch a movie which showed the strength and intelligence of black women. Many times black women are over sexualized or shown as being uneducated. It is refreshing to watch a movie which tell the stories of real women who overcame so much just to show people that they were capable of amazing things too. Hidden Figures was very inspiring and highlights one of probably many other stories which go overlooked because of the people who they represent. I hope to see many more movies which celebrate minorites in a different light from what we are used to seeing.
