A Brief History of Pharrell Williams's Feminist Awakening

Pharrell's pride in bringing Hidden Figures to the big screen couldn't be contained in an interview with the New York Times. The true story revolves around a group of black women who helped make the space program a reality in the early days of NASA, before the Civil Rights movement took hold.

"The female contribution can be hid no more," he told the paper. Pharrell also said he is committed to bringing the stories of black Americans and women to the forefront of film in his role as a producer.
