Just saw Hidden Figures

If you get a chance to see it , do...

I get sad when I see majestic figures like John Glenn and those three African America math whizs who helped make his voyage possible and know our nation produced them and then think we will now be led by a cretinous vulgarian like Drumpf.

The three African American female math whizs.

The guy that played John Glenn nailed him... I get sad to know he lost a bid for president and Trump won.

Glenn was an authentic American hero and a fundamentally good guy.

Good movie. Of course, it made me angry and then proud. It's too bad you have to go to the movies to see this important history.
