Based on a true story, Hidden Figures reveals the history behind four of NASA’s brightest minds. In a time before computers, humans needed to calculate the flight paths for astronauts and rockets. Among them were four African American women who, despite being segregated from their white counterparts, all played a key role in some of NASA’s greatest successes. Rich with historical merit, Hidden Figures makes a great addition to any nonfiction reading curriculum.
