The City of Bowie will kick off the Juneteenth holiday weekend with the screening of the movie Hidden Figures at Allen Pond Park. The movie honors the contributions of African American women in the field of astrophysics at NASA in the early 1960s. These women were known as “human computers” and were instrumental in the winning the space race and launching the first person into space.

Bring food, a blanket or chairs to enjoy the movie and come early for a game of trivia. The movie will begin at dusk.
