  • Katherine Johnson’s and Christine Darden’s both were hired for a separated pool of women computers rather than higher status engineers. Johnson was hired for a segregated all black computer pool for Darden. The computer pool was all women but it was mixed race. Johnson calculated and programmed flight paths from known technical specifications. Darden designed experiments and did research to come up with new technologies and physical laws. Johnson was never an administrator but Darden was a technical leader of NASA’s Sonic Boom Research Group and director of the Program management office.
