My condolences to her family and friends. A true pathfinder and role model!
Godspeed.
Keith, did you ever have an opportunity to meet or speak with Ms. Johnson?
I think I heard her speak once a decade or so ago but I never actually met her – unfortunately.
After watching the movie, I read the book as well. Such an amazing lady! She managed to do everything, a career, raise a family and become a leader in her profession.
If you haven’t read the book “Hidden Figures”, then please give it a read. The book is much more detailed than the movie and the author uses language beautifully.
Wow. 101 years is a full life indeed. Like someone said before, Godspeed, Ms. Johnson!
