Did you know Arkansas has its own ‘Hidden Figure’ story? Meet Raye Montague

Raye Montague, a native of Little Rock, Arkansas, made history in the U.S Navy as the first person to design a ship using the computer and was the first female program manager of ships in the history of the Navy. Montague, now 82, emphasized that this position was “the equivalent of being a CEO of a company.”

“I faced a lot of the same barriers that those ladies faced,” Montague told Robin Roberts on “Good Morning America,” stressing the fact that she grew up in a segregated South and never saw an engineer that looked like her. She wears the title proud that she shattered that glass ceiling as a black woman in the then male-dominated Navy.

Pastor mentioned you’re a computer at NASA. That’s pretty heady stuff. They let women handle that sort of thing?
