The inspiring true story of mathematician Katherine Johnson who counted and computed her way to NASA and helped put a man on the moon!Katherine knew it was wrong that African Ameri cans didn't have the same rights as others—as wrong as 5+5=12. She knew it was wrong that people thought women could only be teachers or nurses—as wrong as 10-5=3.
