La petite Katherine adorait apprendre, et sa matière préférée était les mathématiques. En classe, elle travaillait si dur qu'elle put intégrer le lycée quatre ans plus tôt que prévu ! En raison des lois racistes de l'époque, la famille de Katherine dut déménager pour qu'elle puisse fréquenter un établissement acceptant les élèves noirs. Après le lycée et ses études supérieures, elle fut admise dans l'une des meilleures universités de Virginie-Occidentale, devenant ainsi la première femme noire à y étudier.
En 1953, elle rejoignit l'agence spatiale américaine, qui deviendra plus tard la NASA. Aux côtés d'autres femmes afro-américaines de talent, les compétences mathématiques de Katherine furent essentielles aux premiers succès du programme spatial. Elle faisait partie de l'équipe qui planfia la mission Apollo 11, celle qui permit aux premiers êtres humains de poser le pied sur la Lune !
La ténacité et l'expertise de Katherine ouvrirent la voie à une nouvelle ère pour l'humanité, faisant d'elle une source d'inspiration pour nous tous.
