今天她去世了- NASA黑人数学家凯瑟琳

打印 被阅读次数

她的名字并不广为人知,直到一部小说《Hidden Figures》的问世,几年前小说改编成同名电影上映. 

一个阳光明媚的下午,我在西雅图Space Needle巧遇一对老夫妇。老头儿在NASA工作了30多年,刚刚退休,老太太慈祥的握着我的手,颤颤巍巍的给我推荐了这部电影,于是我知道了她 -- Catherine Johnson

在上个世纪60年代的美国,种族隔离还没有废除。 一个黑人女子,有着非凡的数学天赋,在NASA这样的白人男子的“上流”世界,受到的待遇让我心痛至今。

   - 上个厕所,在风雨中跑1600米去附近Colored Washroom

   - 喝个水,水壶也得分开,上面写着“黑人专用”字样

   - 随时被开除,没有培训,不能晋升。。。

在这样的歧视氛围下,Catherine依旧做出了惊人的成绩,为NASA多个航空项目贡献巨大。

今天她去世了,享年101岁。 让更多的人知道她,这是我能做的。

致敬!!
