Some supporting details to back up my evidence is in the movie, Katherine was really good at geometry and math in general and they treated her differently because she was black and the whites thought that she wasn’t as smart as the whites. Meaning by, Katherine Johnson and her two best friends Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson were moved to a special position in the white American building. Katherin was treated like she wasn’t apart of the groups of whites and was given more work than others just to see how smart she really was because no one trusted her. Dorothy was a supervisor/helper in her part of the building. She put in an application in to be a mathematician supervisor but, no one trusted her with the equipment that they had because it was really expensive and also she was a black American. Mary the the position in being engineer. She walked into the lab where they would test the rocket parts and her she got stuck in one of the vents and the white americans started testing and counting down and they didn't wait for her to get her shoe
