Artifact Exhibit

The first artifact I would have would be the brown mug that Taraji P. Henson (Katherine Johnson) was drinking out of when everyone else had a white mug.


The next artifact would be the chalk board in the space task group room because that's when Katherine Johnson proved herself as an asset to the team and that she should be in that room with those men.

The third artifact I would have would be the pearl necklace that was given to Katherine Johnson by the rest of her task force because she couldn't afford one.

I would also have the book Dorothy Vaughn took from the white section of the library because if she hadn't of gotten that book then she never would have figured out the IBM, and a lot of what actually happened may not have.

The fifth artifact I would have would be Katherine Johnson's wedding ring given to her by Jim Johnson because that was something really important that happened in his personal life when this was going on.

I would have John Glenn's space suit because that was what got him to space just like how the women got him to space.

The seventh artifact I would have would be the brown pearl necklace Taraji P. Henson was wearing in the first few minutes of the scene because its a symbol of her before she broke through the barrier and when she was given the white pearl necklace it showed that they accepted her.

The last artifact I would have would be the "colored ladies room" sign that was torn down because it was an extremely important scene in the movie and symbolizes a big movement in American history.

Astley was a horse-breaker and trainer in the war so his knowledge with animals came to be very useful with his new show. The building he used for his performances was a circular arena that he titled “The Circle”, which later was called the ring. “The circle” in latin is the circus, foreshadowing the name of his show. (source 1).   On January 9, 1768 Astley staged the first modern circus in London. He drew up a ring and invited the public to see him wave his sword in the air while he rode with one foot on the saddle and one on the horse’s head. His trick riding received such a favorable response that he  hired acrobats, rope-dancers, jugglers, and later added clowns. In 1770 Astley built a roof over his ring ...

Civil War Letters Home The first letter to a wife back home was written by J.C. Morris on May 10, 1863 to his wife Amanda. His letter starts with how he is so happy that he gets to write this letter but he is worried the letter will never be sent out. He then goes on to write about how much they have accomplished but also that he wants to be home with her and their kids.
