Gloria Hullett-Smith

The women in #hiddenfigures were not the first #black #women hired at #nasa in the #south. Gloria Hullett-Smith was the second Black woman hired at in #alabama. When she was made Branch Chief of the Payload Crew Training Facility (where #astronauts learned how to handle payloads inflight), she became the first Black #female scientific leader at NASA. #blackhistory #womenshistory #civilrights
