Hidden Figures is an exciting biography

I loved this book for several reasons. First of all, it was a true story of a group of brilliant black women who succeeded in the aeronautics industry of America that eventually became NASA. Secondly, these women were role models as strong, motivated and unstoppable in engineering and mathematics.

Below are 14 scientists, mathematicians, and engineers who have made significant contributions to furthering the human race for people of all color.
