Although I know Katherine Johnson was African-American, by looking at pictures of her [1] she actually looks white-skinned to me. Was she considered of black ancestry because of the "one-drop rule" in the USA at the time? Or maybe she was more dark-skinned in her youth and it's only in recent color photographs that she looks white? Honest question, as here in Europe that woman would be considered "white" if judging from her physical appearance alone. Although I know that there is more than skin color to the American concept of "race".
