Subject: Screening of the "Hidden Figures" film


I am writing to notify you about the free offering of the movie Hidden Figures, http://www.foxmovies.com/movies/hidden-figures, this weekend at MIT.   HIDDEN FIGURES is the incredible untold story of Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe)-brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation's confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.

LSC will be showing the film on Friday and Saturday, March 17 and 18 at 8pm, and on Sunday March 19 at 7pm, in 26-100.

All showings will be free, thanks to the sponsorship of the MIT Libraries, the Office of the Dean for Graduate Education, the Office of Multicultural Programs, and the Title IX Office.
