AARP Eye Center
Celebrate MLK Day with AARP SC at a free screening of Hidden Figures, the acclaimed film about Black women mathematicians whose work helped launch NASA’s early space missions.
Join us for the AARP SC Hidden Figures Film Screening at the Nickelodeon Theater in Columbia, SC, on January 19, 2026, from 1:45 PM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time. This in-person event will commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a time to reflect on the struggle for justice and honor the leaders who expanded civil rights. Dr. King's vision continues to guide conversations about fairness and democracy.
The film Hidden Figures tells the inspiring true stories of three brilliant Black women mathematicians at NASA whose calculations helped launch America's early space missions. This screening will shine a light on their courage, excellence, and determination in the face of workplace and societal discrimination. Hidden Figures is a powerful reminder that talent is universal, even when opportunity is not, and progress often depends on the contributions of those who have gone unrecognized.
Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate the achievements of these remarkable women and engage in meaningful discussions about equality and opportunity for all.
