Katherine Johnson -- American History

Celebrating American History in February

Katherine Johnson --

A pioneering African-American mathematician and NASA physicist who made significant contributions to the United States' space program. She was known for her precise calculations and trajectories that helped ensure the success of several NASA missions, including the first human spaceflight by an American, the first manned orbit of Earth, and the Apollo 11 mission that landed humans on the moon. Johnson's achievements broke down racial and gender barriers and inspired a new generation of scientists and mathematicians. Her legacy continues to be celebrated for her incredible intellect and unwavering determination in the face of discrimination and adversity.

Black History Month is an annual observance in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated in February in the United States and Canada, and in October in the United Kingdom. The observance was first established as "Negro History Week" by historian Carter G. Woodson in 1926, and later expanded to a month-long celebration in 1976. The goal of Black History Month is to recognize and honor the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history.
