“Hidden Figures” Film

October 9 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Katherine Johnson, a mathematician who overcame the challenges of being a Black woman in a segregated society and career field with Text Hidden Figures Film Screening.

The Human Computers exhibit that pays tribute to the ÌÇÐÄVlog, African-American, and other North Carolina women who worked as mathematicians for NASA and the Dept. of Defense is now installed in the Cate-Park Center Alcove.

The women from ÌÇÐÄVlog who performed this work were largely from our Mathematics and Chemistry programs and were active in the Canady Math Club. The exhibit was produced by two Public History classes (Spring 2020, Spring 2024) and also recognizes their work in securing a state highway historic marker.

On October 9th at 7pm there will be a screening of the film “Hidden Figures” in Kresge Auditorium.

Refreshments will be served during the screening.

The exhibit will run through October 15th.
