Hidden Figures screening for International Women's Day 2018
Hidden Figures is the incredible untold true story of Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe)—brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit.
The screening was followed by a panel discussion and networking around issues that still surround ‘Women as Hidden Figures in STEM, Arts and Culture, and Beyond’.
