The families of four amazing women received a special award in America. This award, called the Congressional Gold Medal, is the highest honor given by Congress.
Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Christine Darden were honored for their work during the space race. They worked for NASA and helped America send people into space.
These women were very good at math and science. They worked as mathematicians, engineers, and "human computers" to help with space missions.
Even though they were very smart, these women were not always treated fairly because they were Black. They worked in a separate group from white women.
Their story was told in a book called "Hidden Figures" and later became a popular movie. These women are now remembered and celebrated for their important contributions to America's success in space.
