They used pencils ,adding machines and side ruled to calculate the numbers. Although they were having so many different obstacles they overcame all of them.For instance,Janelle Monae the women who played ''Mary Jackson's" character was not allowed to learn in a white school only because she was colored although she fulfilled all the requirements .Taraji p.Henson who played the role of ''Katherine Johnson"was obliged to walk for a miles just to go to a colored restroom cause their was none for colored.Everything was decided including public transportations,schools. It was very heart breaking to be an African American and watch this movie.It literally made me cry even though many peoples don't . I couldn't imagine myself being in their shoes.
