BY BETH PORTOLESE I just saw the movie 'Hidden Figures.' If you have not seen this movie run, don't walk, to your closest movie theater and see it. If you don't know the story, it centers on three African American women who worked at NASA in the early 60s. One of them was instrumental in determining the mathematical calculations that were needed to launch John Glenn into space. These women triumphed over the outrageous racism of the time to do great things for NASA. By the end of the movie I was crying and feeling pride in them and my country because of a long ago space launch.
