	mathematician
	and Greenbrier
	County native,
	Katherine
	Johnson, passes
	away.
	59 News Reporter
	Claudia Sessa
	spoke with
	members of the
	White Sulphur
	Springs
	community about
	the impact she
	made.
	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...
	We'll see how the
	Mountaineers are
	doing on the court
	this year.
	That's coming up
	next in your WVI
	Report.
