Hi my name is Katherine Johnson I was born August 26, 1918 in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
I am an African American like Rosa Parks. I was also doubted a whole lot but that made me work even harder.
I am a mathematician and I worked at NASA from 1953 to 1986. Without me, Neil Armstrong would have never stepped foot on the moon.
In addition to work, I had to go through racism and people doubting me to reach my goals.
Another of my challenges was how people thought men were better than women and had better jobs. But, look what I did.
I lived up to my potential by not holding back. But in the end, people didn't recognize my name when heard.
When I started at NASA we didn't even have computers, but in 1961 I helped send Alan Shepard into space in a rocket ship.
After all of my achievements, it wasn't until the movie Hidden Figures that many people learned who I was.
Thank you for listening to my comic/speech.
