Spending time with one of NASA’s “Hidden Figures”

| February 1, 2018 | no comments

Christine Darden with Antipas and Micah Harris

I was honored to be this year’s guest speaker for the Presbytery of Eastern Virginia’s MLK Day Service. In the picture with Micah and me is Dr. Christine Darden, one of NASA’s hidden figures from the book entitled Hidden Figures. Dr. Darden attended the MLK Day Service.

Dr. Darden is featured in the History Makers archives. As the archives report:

She received the Dr. A. T. Weathers Technical Achievement Award from the National Technical Association in 1985. She was awarded the Senior Executive Career Development Fellowship from Simmons College in 1994. NASA recognized Darden with the Certificate of Outstanding Performance ten times between 1973 and 2003. Not only has Darden received the NASA medals for equal opportunity and for achievement in leading the sonic boom program, she is also the recipient of the 1987 Candace Award for Science and Technology from the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, and the 1988 Black Engineer of the Year Award from the publishers of U.S. Black Engineer & Technology magazine.

Dr. Darden is an exemplary and humble human being who has made an indelible impression on our world. She has an outstanding legacy. And, she loves the Lord! Let’s follow her lead.

Grace and peace,

Dr. Antipas
