The movie Hidden Figures was very good. I can remember the scene where the project director yells at her for being late and she goes off on him because the nearest 'colored' bathroom is like half a mile away.

Then he gets a sledge hammer and knocks down the apartheid sign over the bathroom down the hall because the stupid and unnecessary racism was getting in the way of getting the job done.

Wonder what Katherine thought about the new concentration camps dotting our landscape and our racist president.
