My question for today is what is one amazing fact you learned about Dorothy Vaughan from reading the first nine chapters? I learned she was promoted in January 1951 to head of the west area computers unit. The book stated that many of the women in west computing knew she was the best one for the job even many of the engineers did too and with some time her bosses realized it too. No one was better qualified for the job. This is from Annie]]> 2021-03-16 00:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kwilson68/7u623yyspkwv6foc/wish/1313333900 25emarth https://padlet.com/kwilson68/7u623yyspkwv6foc/wish/1313336257 On page 79 there was an inspirational and beautiful quote "their dark skin their gender their economic status..none of these are reasons to not live out your dreams. you can do better. we can do better Mary Jackson told her girl scout troop everyday. Were there any quotes lines or parts of chapter ten that you guys thought were inspirational?

What negative stereotypes did it reinforce? ]]> 2021-03-16 12:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kwilson68/7u623yyspkwv6foc/wish/1315271175 https://padlet.com/kwilson68/7u623yyspkwv6foc/wish/1316447416 Why do you think the white man moved away from Katherine? I think it is because she was black maybe. What do you think?

They were always well dressed well spoken patriotic and upright. they knew that they not only represented themselves as individuals but all blacks. this seems like a lot of pressure. why do you think these black computers had so much pressure on them? This is from Annie.

I think it was because she was a black woman and he was a white man, but it said "after he found out that she was a fellow transplant from West Virginia they became close friends." So that is why you should never judge some by their looks]]> 2021-03-16 23:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kwilson68/7u623yyspkwv6foc/wish/1318192544 alipuma https://padlet.com/kwilson68/7u623yyspkwv6foc/wish/1318405172 One of my favorite parts from Chapter 11 says, "Most engineers were good mathematicians, but for the most part it was the women who knew how to work the numbers. They were the experts. They checked each other's work and put red dots on the data sheets when they found errors. There were very, very few red dots." 

How does reading this part make you feel? Why?]]> 2021-03-17 00:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kwilson68/7u623yyspkwv6foc/wish/1318405172 25mvolkman https://padlet.com/kwilson68/7u623yyspkwv6foc/wish/1321754502 When the plane crashed because of air waves from another bigger airplane did you think somebody was in the plane when it crashed? If yes did they survive. I think there was somebody in the crash. It is very hard to make a airplane without anybody in it. Well the plane crash sounds bad so sadly I think it would be rare for the human in the plane to survive. :( What do you think. I would love to hear your guys thoughts. :)

Do you think that because the white man became friends with Kathrine that will make other white people have a little more respect to Black people? I think so.

If this happened to you do you think you could keep on going like Katherine did? This is from Annie

What mattered was that they both loved math and both loved planes."  And so when people treat other people rudely because they are a different gender or skin color it really dose not matter. And this part of the story made me feel happy cause for once it did not matter. How did it make you feel?
