Where is the DEI hire group at? 😂😂😂
Wow trump is right. Of course he gives the medal to republican donors. He does not know what numbers are, look at his bankruptcies. Does not know a negative from positive integer.
Yes, it is long overdue, but I'm so happy they were finally recognized and honored. I am so very proud of these women! 🫶
Wow could you imagine that during that time when it was a crime to they claim that we were good for nothing lazy and stupid just think how many more black women we would have had if we knew that we were capable not only am I in all but I am very proud❤
She’s a wonderful, talented, humble person. We need more people like this.
Wonderful!!! ❤❤❤❤
Here the white man go's again lifting the black women but not the black man and it's more of them and the black woman will not say anything about that 🤔
I am so happy and crying like a child right now. Thank you so much ABC for covering this historical news and surprise.
State the date of this presentation, please. We E knew of their existence thanks to the movie already. When was this news was overdue? YouTube goes around and we often mistake the real time of the fact.
Congratulations ♥️ Thank the World 🌎 for Finally Acknowledging these Amazing Women !!! Thank you to the Powerful 4
Human Caculators!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
America strong is only based on truth.
Let's hope your backup is true.
And the things that I have been seeing on YouTube lately have a direct effect on my life and I'm going to comment whether YouTube likes it or not
Every book that Ron DeSantis has blocked or taken out of the libraries in the State of Florida had something to do with somebody of a different skin color than somebody being white it was wrong and no matter what I do in the rest of my life I will always protect and defend my skin color
And if you leave it or we leave it to Ron DeSantis the governor of Florida will hide the truth about these black women Ron DeSantis gives nobody with any skin color any credit that's do them and honestly we need to get rid of Ron DeSantis cuz he's just as bad as Donald Trump
It’s about time they got a proper honor ❤
Much love and respect to these women for making history and opening doors for the next generation 🎉
