I finished the main body of the book, and am now working my way through the back matter. I'll have a good deal to say in a bit, but I'm really glad I read this book. The movie was powerful and informative, but the book was even more powerful and more informative. Most of the details about the life of a black woman in Virginia were not, sadly, news to me, but many of the details of NACA/NASA were both fascinating and new.
