Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric spoke with the stars of “Hidden Figures,” Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae, which focuses on the work of African-American female NASA mathematicians who helped John Glenn make his historic 1962 orbit around the Earth possible.
Glenn, who passed away on December 8th, will be publicly memorialized this weekend in Ohio before his private burial at Arlington National Cemetery. Spencer called him “a national treasure” and Monae said, “He was on the right side of history.”
