Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson will be honored with Congressional Gold medals. Vaughan and Jackson will receive their honor posthumously while Johnson, 101, could possibly accept in person. The news comes from ABC who reports that Trump signed into law H.R. 1396, the “Hidden Figures Congressional Gold Medal Act” for the women who made history at NASA and were vital in preparing astronaut John Glenn’s orbital mission. Johnson, a mathematician, was previously awarded The Presidential Medal of Freedom and NASA honored her with The Katherine Jonson Computational Research Facility in Hampton, Virginia. A limited-edition Barbie Doll was also recently created in Katherine Johnson’s honor. Congratulations to these forever trailblazers!
T he contributions of mathematicians Mary Jackson , Katherine Johnson , and Dorothy Vaughan will forever be embedded in the fabric of American history. The three women were honored by NASA for pushing space exploration forward. According to NPR , the agency renamed the street in front of its headquarters to celebrate the legacies of the women. NASA has renamed the street in front of its headquarters “Hidden Figures Way” — a tribute to the legacy of black women who played a major role in the space race. https://t.co/KNqBbufynN — NPR (@NPR) June 14, 2019 The proposal for “Hidden Figures Way” was introduced by a group of senators last year. On Wednesday, the loved ones of the women, author Margot Lee Shetterly —who wrote the book Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race —politicians, and supporters watched as the plan came to fruition during a street unveiling ceremony. “Naming this street Hidden Figures Way serves to remind us, and everyone who comes here, of the standard that was set by these women, with their commitment to science and their embodiment of the values of equality, justice and humanity,” said Shetterly during the ceremony. “But, let it also remind us of the Hidden Figures way, which is to open our eyes to [contributions] of the people around us so that their names, too, are the ones that we remember at the end of the story.” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine says that the recognition of their accomplishments is far overdue. “Here we are, 50 years after the landing of the Apollo 11 moon lander, celebrating those figures who were, at the time, not celebrated.” The three pioneers who broke barriers for African Americans in the space industry have received several honors and accolades. In 2017, NASA named a new space facility after Katherine Johnson. Lego also released a toy set inspired by the women to not only honor their accomplishments but to expose young children of color to career paths in the realm of STEM.

Source: Ronald Cortes / Getty Steph Curry is on a rare wave this year. He just drained the farthest 3-pointer of the season without breaking a sweat. As spotted on Bleacher Report, the sharp-shooting guard proved once again why he earns top billing with the Golden State Warriors. Time was ticking down at the close of the first quarter of their away game versus the San Antonio Spurs. While on the opposite side of the court the baby-faced assassin took a running jumper from 61 feet away and nailed it with help from the backboard. The shot put the crowd on ice, to say the least. While Dub Nation took the loss that night, Curry’s buzzer beater could not be ignored. ESPN has confirmed that it is the longest three-point shot made during the 2018-2019 season. He discussed the memorable moment during his post-game interview. “I might be delusional, but every time I shoot it, I feel like it’s going in. You kind of know right away whether it has a chance or not. Some of them are in and out, it’s close, whatever,” Curry explained. “That one felt great, I was running after [it]. A cool way to end the quarter, I just wish we had gotten the win, too.” The Warriors are currently tied with the Denver Nuggets for the top seed in the Western Conference.
