Mohommah G. Baquaqua

“’Que aqueles ‘indivíduos humanitários’ que são a favor da escravidão se coloquem no lugar do escravo no porão barulhento de um navio negreiro, apenas por uma viagem da África à América, sem sequer experimentar mais que isso dos horrores da escravidão: se não saírem abolicionistas convictos, então não tenho mais nada a dizer a favor da abolição.’ As palavras são de Mahommah Gardo Baquaqua, ex-escravo nascido no Norte da África no início do século XIX e que trabalhou no Brasil antes de fugir das amarras da servidão em Nova York, em 1847. O trecho consta do livro “An interesting narrative. Biography of Mahommah G. Baquaqua” (“Uma interessante narrativa: biografia de Mahommah G. Baquaqua”, em tradução livre), lançado assim mesmo, em inglês, pelo próprio ex-escravo, em Detroit, no ano de 1854, em plena campanha abolicionista nos EUA. A obra jamais foi traduzida para o português, permanecendo desconhecida do público brasileiro.

Meet the real women behind Hidden Figures.

In the early days of the Space Race, Dorothy Vaughan headed the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics’ (NACA) West Area Computing unit. It was an important but segregated unit of mostly female mathematicians doing aerospace calculations by hand. When NACA became NASA in 1958, the Analysis and Computation Division desegregated and Vaughan became a sought-after expert on FORTRAN  – a programming language used on IBM mainframes.

Vaughan is one of the women whose work inspired the film Hidden Figures — a true story of three African American mathematicians who helped NASA launch the first Americans into space.
