- Опубліковано 14 лют 2022
- The Acronym Model of SERVANT-Leadership™ includes practicing EMPATHY. This 7-minute lesson shows this principle as learned by Al Harrison (played by Kevin Costner), through the courage of Katherine Johnson (played by Taraji P. Henson), part of a team of female African-American's playing a vital role in the early days of the NASA space program. Johnson wrestles with the obstacles of segregation and meet the demands of Johnson and the NASA space race.
As Harrison fails to fully grasp the impacts of segregation on his Ms. Johnson, he becomes very frustrated with her absence. Through Johnson's frustrations and courage, Harrison learns an important lesson in the critical role of empathy for leaders.
If you or your organization could use support developing leaders, let's talk!

In the early 1950's, when I was about 4 years old, my grandmother took me into the city to shop. I had very blonde hair and blue eyes and was very excited to ride that huge, long bus. I wanted to see what it was like to see that long bus turn the corners, so I let go of my grandmother's hand and ran to the very back of the bus. Although the back seat was full, the kind people moved over and let me jump up right in the middle of the back seat. I saw and heard my grandmother calling me from the front of the bus. No, I kept calling to her, I'm riding here at the very back. I couldn't understand why she kept calling me, and didn't come get me. I was very stubborn and refused to move. Finally, a nice black lady led me by the hand back to my grandmother at the front of the bus. I remember looking back down the bus aisle and wondering why I couldn't sit there. I didn't see color of skin, only people. I didn't realize until later. Prejudice is taught.
Wow.
Racism is ingrained in your mind by your parents. A child under 5 years old wouldn't have a clue what the hell racism is. You grow into it.
Wow
The innocence of a child is beautiful, adults ruin it with they’re ignorant beliefs. Thank you for sharing
Well duh, yte people are mentally ill and always desperate to irrationally hate and discriminate against black people because Yte people are demonic Neanderthals that are desperate to feel “superior”
This scene alone should have garnered an Academy Award nomination hor Ms. Henson, the pain and frustration endured just to be treated equally as a human being.
This scene is amazing
Ms
Johnson was so good at her job John Glenn asked her if the figures were right before he completed his historic mission
Taraji is a Phenomenal actress. Every role she plays she Kills. She is a Blessing and talented actress. I am glad The Honorable Mrs. Katherine Johnson was still alive to see this movie made before she passed. She and the other ladies broke barriers and made history! She was so intelligent and didn't deserve to be treated this way like so many others. So happy Her/their story was brought to life. Who better than Taraji she is Amazing.❤😊😊✨💯🙏
Who is better? I think Octavia Spencer is. She kills every role she plays. Even the extended cameo on the Big Bang Theory. But I do agree, they both tend to own every scene they are in. No matter what show or movie they grace.
She is a absolutely tremendous actress. This scene brought tears to my eyes.
As a 59yr old i thank my ancestors for their sacrifices. That now i don't have to experience. It's s damn shame that the young one's are killing each other today.
Thank our ancestors every day for the sacrifices they made…we didn’t have to endure such pain, humiliation and grief… a darn restroom break😮😮😮😮🖤
Thank you. Since I am old enough to remember seeing the signs for designated restrooms, water fountains and yes schools or restaurants. I can assure you that they were not “EQUAL”. Thank you for highlighting this fact that is unfortunately, part of our American history. We need to learn of the injustices and be better. All people deserve to be treated with dignity.
This is what they don’t want taught in school
Just baffles me that Taraji wasn’t nominated for a Golden Globe.
ARE YOU FVCKING KIDDING ME
Wow! That woman is an amazing actor.
One of the best movies made. Loved how empathetic Kevin Kostners character was.
but sad reality ,is only a movie the real world is not better
He wanted to win, his empathy had nothing to do with her plight.
Extremely powerful scene....well done by all.
Ms. Johnson had many reasons to quit and not even start a career in science. But she fights for what she loves and gives her best, much more than what the work conditions and salary provide. If she had given up, if she had not suffered all that, if she was not brave enough to pursue her dream and confront her boss, nothing would have changed at least not at her time. And it changed not only for her. I see purpose on pain, one that is not caused by us to ourselves or to others, but one that is conditioned to what we love and that provides us freedom. We can learn to transform our weaknesses into strengths, have a wider view and understanding of life and make a difference for us and others just by being persistent, brave and doing what we love.
Hidden Figures is a great movie with a double entendre title!
Remember be part of the solution, not part of the problem. It takes understanding, action and a firmly enforced belief that just because "that is the way things are done" is never a reason it is a cowards way.
No. The solution can get twisted and bent. It's better to not be part of the problem. The solution will arise over time through observation, demeanor and gossip. At this stage a courageous leader can tip the scales -- but not before.
@@IrregularPineapples a paper thin excuse. pathetic
Man Taraji be killing this thing called acting
When you Lead By Example it is usually helpful to know how each member of your team/squad is going to function. Cannot have any obstacles to have them follow your example. I have said before and will continue to say that it is the HEART that determines the worth of a man or woman not the color of their skin. It is a shame that our culture and our societies are so blind to TRUTH that they would rather ignore TRUTH and embrace the lies that they keep hearing.
I love this film and I think that this scene is one of the greatest scenes in cinema history, truly. "Here at NASA we all pee the same colour" says it all
Nice scene, but do you know that that scene never happened ? Check the director talking about adding that scene, you can find it on UA-cam as well
@@avlisodraude well, it must have happened somewhere as there are no segregated bathrooms now. It's a fabulous scene.
I had the same thing happened to me when I was back south
@@anthonyroberts357 kind of funny that when this happened even the Nazis were more 'human' than the americans. Jesse Owens had to enter the white house from the kitchen after winning in Berlin while in Nazi Germany there were no white/black toilets and he was helped by a german white athlete. Is there any other country more racist that the US ? I hope some day that country becomes a free country.
@@avlisodraude you’re absolutely right. Yes it is true that these things did happened to Black people during that time. And it’s very disgusting. But at NASA during that time they did not have those issues. When they were interviewing the actual woman’s character was based off of, she even said all of her colleagues were respectful to her, and she never had any bathroom issues.
Such courage. And someone got on her last nerve.
We have come along way but, we need everyone to respect one another!
Yes, Steve, we can always continue to improve. Thank you for commenting.
en français
Respect must be earned.
@@TheShootist Wrong. Everyone deserves respect. Every single living creature.
My FAVORITE SCENE IN THIS MOVIE is when Kevin Cosners charecter (Al Harrison) tears down that toilet sign (..."WE PEE THE SAME COLOR" [similar to another phrase I was brought-up with "...WE ALL BLEED THE SAME 'COLOR' BLOOD"])
It's absolutely amazing that SO MANY "WHITE PEOPLE" were then/STILL ARE NOW, ...TOTALLY oblivious to problems they created, faced by people of color. LOOK AT ALL THESE RESTRICTIVE VOTING LAWS....... ARE WE GOING "BACK" to the PRE-CIVIL RIGHTS '60s?
I wish I had seen this movie when I was a teen; I would NOT have quit so many things I was involved with because I was told I was causing trouble (I didn't want to express my anger because I "DO" have a violent temper.)
So are you implying that requiring an ID to vote is somehow overly restrictive against black people? Dude seriously shut the hell up with your apolitical bullshit
This is a great scene. But you are blinded by unfounded rage. You probably were and probably would only cause trouble with a hasty attitude like that. The kind of exuberant low resolution convictions you carry would do nobody any good. It's a lot easier to break things than fix things, especially if the thing is already not working too badly.
Lol you are incredibly delusional.......
I LOVE THIS SCENE. When I watched it I was feeling such strong emotions from her
Truth, truth. I only got really angry when I found that that never happened. You can find the director talking about that fake scene here in UA-cam
I can totally relate to this and it is a very good lesson: empathy. Don’t ever stop tryin to understand.
It's so surreal and unimaginable that a whole country did this until relatively recently.
Why didn't Hollowood acknowledge the performances of the black actresses in this movie. All of them did an awesome job. In fact, this scene alone is Oscar material.
I wish I could have an once of that control and composure that Catherine had
Best acting iv ever seen love her
I loved this movie.
Yes my grandmother told me that things for her as a black person was really was really really hard, but it still hard just not like in her time
Please. Today is heaven compared to what they went through back then
@@dylanpatel4938 not real, because my people are still getting shot and killed
@@danajefferson5793 By your own people, if the statistics are to believed. It's not whites killing blacks, it's blacks killing blacksm
@@dylanpatel4938 Back then? We're still getting screwed out of jobs and shot at by police.
In spanish we have a saying, " mano de hierro con guante de seda", Iron hand in silk gloves. The blow you receive is hard, but if you complain, then you're the problem. Sometimes that's worst, because you can hardly defend yourself.
The best movie I have ever watched.There has not been a lot of movies that have truly captured the reality of not only being colored, but also a being woman during a time period of discrimintion . This is a truly wonderful movie. Hope you all watch it all the way through. EXcellent movie.
One of my favorite scenes from this GREAT movie!
The monologue was amazing and I felt her pain. Although I wasn't born at the same time, as a young black girl explaining my pain felt like just how she spoke.
Yet what rubbed me the wrong way was how in the end he's still the hero. He's the one who saved the poor colored women and broke boundaries. He broke down the bathroom sign & said the "I don't see color, we all pee yellow" phrase. And everything was alright. Instead of actually breaking down racism it's just "be nice to everyone. Be color blind" 😎
Although, he didn't say, "I don't see color", I understand your points; "white savior" implications.
I would say as a movie with a broad reach, the message supporting equality coming from a white male in power in many ways reaches the very audience it was meant for. Him hearing her and seeing the stupidity of the separate bathrooms, becomes a lead by example, scene....someone voices the concern, be empathetic and do something about it. ...do not be complicit.
If they had shown the actual event, her bucking the system and the system changing, it would have been powerful, but the effect would be different in many ways.
Yeah, it isn't the truth, which is important. Hopefully, it caused a ripple effect of change.
She killed there 🙌 👏 amazing
Loved this! Please keep them coming.
It's leadership like this that I can be thankful for such as Rosa Parks in the Bus Boycott and the audacity to stand up for the right cause in the right time of life trying encounters is why I want to say thank you for your leadership and affecting the course of history
What a great 👍 film there were times when I broke out crying in some of the scenes of the film brilliant
Taraji was powerful, and Costner matched her energy! They were both amazing together!
This was the best scene from the movie.
What made it more touching?
The nod to the other woman, when she brought up the bicycle rule.
Truth truth. I got so angry when I found out that the scene never happened in real life
@@avlisodraude Oh that scene happened hundreds of times. Maybe not in that exact way, but it happened.
@@climateanxiety2825 It never happened, check the director's interview. Unless you are saying the director is lying, in which case please provide proof of that!
@@avlisodraude I'm not saying the scene happened in the movie, or that that exact thing happened to those people, I'm saying it happened in real life all the time, and it did.
@@climateanxiety2825 No discussion about that. I was just talking about that scene. Unfortunately that mainly happens in those big dictatorships where everyone is brainwashed. into those biases (USA, Russia, China, etc)
I have the DVD & must have watched this @ least 50 times now & still love this movie. If I'm feeling a bit down this is my go to movie.
Damn good movie great acting all around
This scene is priceless......
You know when I hear her and I feel the pain that she feels the segregation I could feel the pain when she was telling me she'll walk a mile to go to the bathroom and oh my God that was totally with horrible now p this movie broke my heart and brought me to tears when she was mad and I was crying so hard I love this video and I love her so much that I hurry time I feel I feel the pain that she's going through and I can wonder how people retreat the black people so horribly I'm glad everything has changed thanks to her we all have different now
This is excellent!
Excellent maybe, but definitely true! Thanks for responding!
"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get to it". Whatever 'it' was we didn't have boots to pull on. Heck most of those who needed to 'pull them up' didn't have shoes.
This scene brings tears to my eyes Always.
This scene was brilliant and devastating at same time.
Brilliant movie. Good video.
Kind sir I am so glad I ran across your channel. I LOVED the way you described how leadership should actually view the employees. You got a new subscriber in me! I just love people that I can learn from 💯
Thanks and welcome. Keep serving!
This is an actress. Bravo🙌🖐👍
The oh shit moment on the mens faces when she shouts, they’re thinking Jesus we’ve done it now, we’ve really messed up
With all if this she was still expected to do her job with perfection and no errors.
Ms. Henson sure gave dignity to the lady she portrayed. That is powerful stuff. Do you remember the man accused of rape in To Kill A Mockingbird? Same dignity. I repent of when I made people feel small.
Taraji is so underrated. She's one of the best actresses today.
She deserves to be honored and so much more
Wonderful 👏🏾
👏🏻
One of the best seans in a really great movie, Kevin Costner crow barring the RESTROOM sign down, another was later on when Allen Shepard (?) refused to be rushed off and intead visited with the lady techs.
We lost a great lady she got us until the to go to outer space as she was a best lady ever with great mind I know we lost her but she's in heaven now but she'll never be forgotten she is one of the first ladies to ever do this and very proud of her very much if it wasn't for her will be in the back in the ages that guy'll be had her life she's the best and I will always remember and be my mother always being number one as a beautiful black woman who work for NASA and went through All odds and made her life and change the world 🌎🌎🌎🌎 I love her very deeply to you as a good friend may God have you in heaven always God bless you my dear friend
Taraji P. Henson's CHARACTER Katherine Johnson EXPRESSES HER FRUSTRATIONS WITH HER CIRCUMSTANCES WITH GREAT DIGINITY AND TREMENDOUS POISE!!!
Im inlove with this movie.
I remember years ago when I was in the ARMY stationed in Georgia at FORT GORDON I remember talking to my father that my uncle and aunt were stationed in the south could I go see them, because he worked for NASA,as an engineer. When I asked my sergeant he said Go YOUNG as said he would authorize it and that I would not need to go to my CAPTAIN. I had days off anyway. I only went for 5 days anyway. My uncle and aunt were really surprised when I called them. And I did not have to go to uniform, that was in 1976.
I couldn't imagine living in that time under those circumstances, good or bad. There's a lot of things that was very good about that time. There's a lot of things that were equally as bad
Where i can watch this, the full movie
You don't know until they walk in their shoes and see what that felt like when there what's segregation until walk in their shoes and then only you'll understand how they felt
In our lessons, I always say, don't only walk a mile in their shoes, but in their MUDDY BOOTS - more on that here: www.linkedin.com/posts/benjamin01_leadership-empathy-hr-activity-7094669582375800832-K52d?
Here at NASA, we all pee the same color.
Whoever thought up that line deserves an Oscar. Pure genius.
I expected the boss to be a hypocrite. He actually seems like a decent guy
The only time they give you respect is when your talent is undeniable and your character is impeccable!...But even then...smh!
Just Wow!!
Growing up in the 50's my two sisters and I were half Filipino and half Caucasian. I remember we were like 5, 6 and 7 years old. We lived in California, which was one of the most progressive states compared to others. We had long beautiful black hair and our mother wanted us to get perms so that our hair had more body and waves. She left us at the beauty shoppe and came back for us 3 hours later - we had all been given afro perms and our hair was cut very short. My mother was furious. She was a 5'0" little blond, blue eyed Texan and I never saw her so mad she was livid - if looks could kill those beauticians would have been dead. That is what I grew up with and I was not black.
All l can say great movie
A great movie and a damning indictment of early 196”’s America
Only the 60s?
message taken!!
I am about to complete my last day of work Monday at a company that doesn’t allow women to use the restroom at the time she has to go. Two restroom breaks a day isn’t enough especially during a woman’s menstruales cycle.
I sited this as a reason for leaving and not so much as an, “I understand,” “We’re sorry.” “We will work to do better.” Nothing just a condescending statement from an AVP, “I love my job. . .I don’t have to stay out in the heat or lift heavy boxes.” But this AVP gets to go to the restroom when she pleases but the reps can’t.
I thought about making an outburst like this but that wouldn’t be the “right way” to handle a corporate disagreement.
The corporate office sets the policies but AVPs and VPs can advocate for reps but choose not to. There is no empathy or effort in accommodating female workers.
I want to show this video to them so they can understand how it feels as a woman to be denied the ability to use the restroom when she needs to.
I want to say these words verbatim. It’s 2022 and I wish I can say women’s rights have changed and they have but equality for me is saying, women have biological differences that need to be acknowledged and accommodated for. Instead, those leaders look out for themselves and get angry when they battle turnover.
They are upset that I acknowledged my womanhood and have the courage to advocate for myself.
To this company, I say you have what you deserve. Workers who can’t pass a drug test, high turnover, stress.
To the company that has empathy, you will also reap what you have sewn. As you sew empathy you will reap a reward of loyalty and fair labor from your employees.
I would file a lawsuit.
Yeah you gotta do something
The first time I saw that movie I was really touched by the segregation problem in the United States. The Afro-American people were going through a painful experience.
Empathy : Care n interest in people outside our friends or social standing is one of the most transformative and humanitarian of abilities. And a fantastic film clip from Hidden Figures to demonstrate exactly that. Thks. (Hv Sub’d).
Wow powerfully
When he brings her a coffee in the final scene….. :)))
I would follow him, this is the American I want to see!
Thanks thank you very much you already solved abig problem of mine by writing English words down the video 🤗💚💚
I really appreciate your effort Go ahead 💪🏻👏🏻✌🏻
Best part of movie I live it❤🎉
Johnson was a brilliant and critically important NASA scientist, but I was told this restroom stuff was added in for dramatic effect.. Supposedly never happened. It was intended perhaps as a caricature of the many subtle examples of racial bias still happening back then.. I'm not diminishing Kathryn Johnson's story at all. I'm just lamenting what Hollywood does to sell movies.
It happened and it was Mary Jackson that delivered the speech that led to Al Harrison tearing down the signs. The producers of the movie just switched the speech around. Katherine just ignored the signs and used the white bathrooms. The other black women went through it until until Mary blew up!
Name of the movie please?
link of
movie please 😊
Hidden Figures: amzn.to/3ewJEir
Amen !!
So.. what I'm taking from this scene is he didn't do it because it was the right thing to do, he did it only because it would be beneficial to the project and make things more efficient. Honestly it should have been done in the first place but because a need arose he decided to do it.
And that's how you couch change so that the most hard-headed can accept it.
According to the movie, he wasn't aware until she told him and then he did something about it.
back in 66 I made the mistake of drinking from a colored only fountain, buch of old white men started freaking out and were yelling at me, a very nice black man picked me up to get a drink which made them even angrier. my father stepped in and shut the white trash up and then he thanked the black man for helping me get a drink. being only 4 at the time I was completely lost at what I did wrong and this was southern Arkansas
Yo dad sounds like a great guy I thank him for that
Believe me…we in USA are still in the throes of segregation….
Ya ok
Cry baby
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I agree, sadly. Things are just more subtle, these days. It's totally wrong!
Same in the U.K., although I don’t think it’s been as bad as the USA. I’ve always found it weird that us humans use skin colour as a means of bullying. Politics and religion , class yes, because we can’t agree what’s right for one person isn’t right for everyone. But melatonin in the skin, it’s bizarre
Also watching this video reminds me of SOUTHERN people versus black people who live in the NORTH, very different. I was in the 67 signal battalion Charley company. And I was the only person of ASIAN decent. But I could out cook anyone on base and they knew it and I had excellent training from the cook's in SEOUL SOUTH KOREA. Living and working in Korea was very different for me, as well in GEORGIA and in GERMANY but my father told me let UNCLE SAM pay for everything.
Movie name please

In 2005 I started to work as a teacher in inner city school in GA. Students were very challenging. It did not help that I was an immigrant, white, and with a heavy accent. I remember I did a referral and in it wrote what student called me "White B**", "Russian C**t", and something else. An administrator, a black lady in her 50s, read it aloud and very calmly asked me like nothing was wrong "And how would you like to be called"
God bless him 😎✌️💙🇺🇸
Excellent movie based on a series of excellent real people experiencing life at a low quality of life time in America. When humans (computers) became redundant to machines (computers). When ego and pride based politics achieved great things with the taken for granted inputs of these high achiever ladies. Hidden in plain sight they were. It would seem that period of social retarded thinking has regained strength lately in the USA Republican party but not all of them.
Straight point, something i hate is the blatant disregard repubulicans have for their own actions, and blaming it on the stupid side of the opposing party social demographic ( sjw) , even when the party and their actions differed.
Really the best scene. But it made me so angry to find out that it was not a real situation. A pity to focus on a fake scene as the best in the movie.
@@avlisodraude Although, a fake scene, change did occur because she eventually bucked the system and started using the "white only" bathroom. Each one of us has the tools to make change....we just need to be brave/uncompromising! This usually occurs when we've had enough of the nonsense.
I don't get why that scene is played twice? It doesn't mean the same thing the second time that it does the first.
Holy shit her performance........please tell me she got an Oscar
Movie name please??

We think things are a lot better today. Let me tell you an experience that I have had The misfortune of going through. I have a disability employer hired me as part of their contract because I worked at the job for many years without any issues. One month into being hired they're trying to build up a paper trail to fire me for my disability. I have to get an attorney and slap the company within an attorney. Then it goes personal. I just found out several years later that the company was literally coming after me personally trying to ruin my life trying to get me fired at another job I was working at. I have not had a single write-up. I haven't had any issues. I haven't had any problems. I show up. I have the best attendance. The client even likes me so I'll. This isn't close to what she was going through. We still have similar issues going on in the world today. Just masked in a different light The one similarity that she had that I have little recourse. Not much can be done to stop. What's going on? Segregation was a horrible thing. Absolutely horrible and I hope we never repeat that
Dear students: This movie is about the 1960's time period. America is not like this anymore. We don't have colored bathrooms; everyone can use any bathroom they like. So, please know there are people that want you to believe we still live in the 1960s. Thank GOD, it is not like this anymore because I don't know how people would treat me being 15% Black. Awesome movie.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
She made the entire room feeling 1 inche tall
I remember few years back, as a European traveling in midwest of US with my friends. One of them was black. We were waiting front of the store with this black friend and local who was passing by him said "die n......!" Stupid and ignorant people are dangerous. Luckily I got to know many other good US citizens.
With the exception of people getting angry about my addressing prostitution the first time I was running, and a few others, people treated me better. I don't know who my boss is, but they know my son and I walk, and I submit receipts. I don't have a desk.
Powerful scene but really didn't change anything. He needed to remove the whites only sign from the ladies room where Katherine was working ( not the west campus)
Our blood are same. RED.
