VO Katherine Coleman Johnson made history when she became a ground-breaking mathematician for NASA. Johnson was essential to NASA during the Space Race against the Soviet Union -- prompting a character in the movie "Hidden Figures" which portrayed her and other black women who were instrumental in this mission. But -- what many people don't know she was from a small city right here in southern West Virginia. Katherine Johnson was born in White Sulphur Springs in 1918. LLOYD HAYNES/CITY MANAGER, WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS: "when I was mayor is when I actually found out about Mrs. Johnsons accomplishments and I had no idea she was a lady that came from White Sulphur Springs." VO According to Johnson's NASA profile, she skipped several grades due to her QUOTE: "intense curiosity and brilliance with numbers." In fact, her profile states she attended the historically black West Virginia State College at age 13. BRUCE BOWLING/MAYO R, WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS: "she was too smart for us, that's for sure. It's a real sense of pride for us. We named the Library after her and we're very proud to say she grew up here." VO Johnson was integral when it came to several NASA projects -- including Alan Shepard's May 1961 mission -- Freedom 7. America's first human spaceflight. Johnson provided trajectory analysis for the mission. In 2015, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidental Medal of Freedom -- the highest civilian honor in America. LLOYD HAYNES/CITY MANAGER, WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS: "and because of her activity, she was a good role model for black, white, and all in between, people throughout the entire world." VO Johnson passed away on February 24, 2020 at 101 years old. Reporting in Greenbrier County, Claudia Sessa, 59 News. Riley Still to come...
