(Under "Awards" tab) September 18, 2024 Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Dr. Christine Darden of NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, along with all the other women who served at the agency and its precursor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or the NACA, as computers, mathematicians, and engineers, informally known as the "Hidden Figures of NASA" were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

 Not done: It's the Congressional Gold Medal, and it was awarded in 2019 and is already listed in the article. I don't know why they waited 5 years to hold a ceremony for it. Schazjmd (talk) 22:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
