[sees Katherine looking offended]
That's not what I mean. Katherine Johnson:
What do you mean? Colonel Jim Johnson:
I'm just surprised at something so taxing. Katherine Johnson:
Oh Mr. Johnson, if I were you, I'd quit talking right now. Colonel Jim Johnson:
I don't mean no disrespect. Katherine Johnson:
I will have you know, I was the first Negro female student at West Virginia university graduate school. On any given day, I analyze the velometer levels for air displacement, friction and velocity. And compute over ten thousand calculations by cosine, square root and lately analytic geometry. By hand. There are twenty, bright, highly capable Negro women in the west computing group, and we're proud to be doing our part for the country. So yes, They let women do some things at NASA, Mr. Johnson. And it's not because we wear skirts. It's because we wear glasses. Have a good day
