Navy Hidden Hero: Gladys Mae West and GPS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 дек 2018
- Gladys Mae West grew up with a desire to succeed in life. During her 42-year career Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division was part of the team that developed the Global Positioning System (GPS) in the 1950s and 1960s.
She grew up in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, and knew was that she did not want to work out in the sun in the fields and as such did well in school. West then went on to college and graduated four years later. In 1956, hired at Dahlgren to work on a new computer and had to master the job, learning how to program and code. This led her into scientific computations of the initial GPS over water. This became the foundation that GPS is built on.

This is the type of person we need to boast about!! So inspiring!
It has been overdue!
They hide that.
@@samuelnelson9010 *Yes they hid it just as they've hid many other parts of our history. Everything is out there now.
@@Crudeoil794 What's really coming out is, many of the people who got trafficked during the transAtlantic slave trade were the true Israelites.
Now Hosea 6:1 and 2 is happening. True Israel is being revived. The two thousand years is up.
Many people are coming to know that they are Israelites, but at Straitway Truth Ministry, they are being filled with the Holy Spirit and that's true revival. Look them up. They are different from Christians. They are an awakening nation, not a religion. They have a closer relationship with Jesus than Christians. They obey the Bible and serve one another out of love.
They have concrete faith and follow the book of Acts way of life, which Christians neglect to follow out of a lack of faith.
A lot is now known of their history and you can learn a lot more about what the Most High is doing right now in the end time. It is the end time for these wicked nations, but it's going to be just the beginning for us.
We are Straitway Truth. We are true Israel and the Father has given the future to His Son Jesus. Jesus was born among us to be our King. The future is, true Israel on top of the world with Jesus ruling over us.
Black LIES Matter! She didn't invent the GPS.
there is lot more hidden great black people that must come to light..
The Great Black Inventor's who aren't mentioned in main stream media.
She didn't invent anything.
What's the matter; did mommy not kiss your forehead before she left for work; and now you're all cranky? Grow up kid! All (Americans) pull together and stand shoulder to shoulder; that's tells me, either you're not American in which case who cares what you think! Or you're just a little boy wanting attention! Maybe both; grow up!! @@HailEarendil
@@BigD1983it is a lie
Bill Gates invented GPS.
You are a blessing to humanity. Thank you Mrs. Gladys Mae West! May God continue to bless you!
I’m not afraid of getting lost while driving anymore, thanks Dr. West.
Another Hidden Figure. Just learned about this like right now. Another intelligent woman, just like the other ladies from Hidden Figures, who did more than what the world expected & had designed for her. Such an inspirational lady. Wow!
What's hidden here is the truth. She didn't invent GPS. Black LIES Matter!
This is like saying an accountant invented the calculator.. Or I screwed in a light bulb, so I invented electricity. "Another hidden figure". There's nothing to hide. If blacks are so smart and inventive..Why is Africa STILL tens of thousands of years later a wasteland bereft of civilization?
Pokemon go could not exist without her. True hero
Very Good!
I literally learned who she was 1 minute ago watching the Simpsons. What an absolutely brilliant woman. Thanks for all your contributions to our new era/computerized world. Such cool concepts.
I can't mention how many times GPS has helped me. Thanks Mrs Gladys West.
We just learning about this now...wow
Why is that!
They never want us to know about our history
@@jldub23 Has nothing to do with race or sex, and has everything to do with the fact that the overwhelming majority of scientists don't get enough recognition for their work to the point where people know who they are. There's way, *_way_* too many scientists that have made contributions to ever list them all off. Who knows the names Paul Langevin and Constantin Chilowsky, inventors of the first SONAR device for submarines that were used in WWI? They were white and no one has ever heard of them, outside of academia. Nothing to do with some conspiracy.
@@jldub23😂😂😂 it’s black washing history
Thank you for your contributions to humanity 🙏🏾
She should be one of the most if not the most wealthiest individual of this day and age.
Wish I had been able to share Gladys Mae West's story with my science classes (am retired now). Hope that current teachers, especially of science and math, will use this. Many rural communities (where I live now) do not have many/any minorities and cling to old prejudices. They need to have exposure to talented, accomplished females (YAY!) like Dr. West.
What a wonderful woman!
Thanks for your contribution to humanity! Praise the Lord!
Thank you Dr.West for your contributions as a mathematician. It's a shame I have never heard of you before but thankful I finally know your story.
🙏 Thank you! Beautiful inside and out!!!
Just finished reading her wiki page, absolutely in awe. I don't think I will ever have 1/10th of 1% of her work ethic.
Thanks for sharing, beautiful!👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾
Thank you Elder Queen Mother You are extraordinary and phenomenal in a major way I vow all my students from this point on will know about you and your contribution to our world May God continue to be with you and bless you indeed Prayers and Blessings
Well said.
Bravo Zulu Gladys Mae West! A true American hero.

What a very rewarding accomplishment. I admire your dedication. You have definitely beaten the odds.
Humble yet Incomparable!
A beautiful mind And heart...
Mrs. West is an inspiration.
Thank you Dr.Gladys West such a hero
What a amazing inspiration Gladys Mae West is to all the citizens of the world
Amazing
A great African American woman. Bless mama.

Remarkable. Very encouraging! Thank you Dr. West.🤗🙏🏾
God bless you Mam for your wonderful work
So inspiring🤗❤️ thank you
One of the greatest
A great story about a fine lady.😀
What a most charming, humble, and delightful lady...
Great story
Looking from the outside, this is what the USA should be all about, there are great people everywhere, they should be leading your country
God bless you Dr. West! I work at NGA and I’m going to make sure I work to get them to recognize you this year!
Curious, did you make that inquiry within NGA? If so, is it in the works to give her - her proper credit due.
Our true Queen🙏🏾
This woman needs her lifestory told just like Katherine Johnson (REST IN POWER) who worked for NASA had her story told in the film HIDDEN FIGURES starring Taraji P. Henson,Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monae.
They never want the pipo to hear these achievements because she was brown.
@@dudleymakeche7842 We need to stop depending on other people to tell our story.
Thank you.
Thank you ma'am
Inspiring!
How come you just now coming out about it.
This video deserves more likes or views. Its really inspiring.
anyways like if ya got this for school.
Totally awesome 🥰 God is good! 4real 4real!
Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of what happens when you are blessed to have a real gift of learning from God pay attention to what God gives you a real life Linda j peace ❤️💯💯
GOD Bless!
Nice
I would like to create a memorial for all the so call "Hidden Figures" who were instrumental in supporting the DoD and IC's efforts in defense of this country and in support of advancing America's lead in science and technology.
Who's with me in supporting such an endeavor?
Great womman
Very fascinating never would have thought but you cannot be racist or sexist anybody can do anything regardless of their gender or race
🇺🇸🙏
👍👍👍
Coloca legenda para português. Please!!!
North, South, East, Gladys WEST
♥️
Cool lady. God bless you. I mostly wonder how great America could have become if she gave everyone equal opportunity regardless of race or color. There could have been many black Steve jobs. Many black Bill Gates etc,.
Unfortunately, they had no intention of letting that happen.
@@catherinejackson9022Lies and more lies. Why didn’t Africa produce them? There’s a reason why the black world lags behind the other worlds.
@@catherinejackson9022lmaoo there is a reason why black communities aren’t hotbeds of innovation even by today 😂😂
2 people must real hate.....GPS
Wow
🌎🎓🙏🏾=🌹
Foundational Black Americans have contributed so much
Deuteronomy 7:6, praise God
Homeschool recommended.📖
You spelled Gladys wrong in the title
Can the person who accidentally fatality wounded the police officer on capital hill please seek legal advice before your prompt handing yourself over for questioning. 🚷
Story short, she is the inventor of GPS
No. Bradford Parkinson and others.
@@baneverything5580 nah she is, now say her name Dr Gladys West.
@@therndabtno she didn’t. She contributed to the accuracy of it. GPS was invented by three white American men and the US military. She contributed to it. But she didn’t invent it like how Garret Morgan didn’t invent stop lights or Henry Sampson the phone.
@@therndabthistory class failed you. GPS was invented by the US military and people like Bradford and whatnot
She didn't invent GPS.
Roger Easton, Ivan Getting and Bradford Parkinson invented GPS.
Look up "GPS World: The Origins of GPS and the Pioneers Who Launched the System."
And Gladys West did nothing?? Chances she was simply ignored and raised profile of a more desirable individual as inventor.
@@dudleymakeche7842 Gladys West was part of a team that produced part of a geodetic earth model. She did not invent GPS and she did not invent geodetic earth models or geodetic datum.
@@kirkb2665as in they will try to overstate their influence.
database we generated HAHAHAHHAAA fake you generated nothing
They’ve always been threatened by the talent of “black Americans” 😏😏
What talent v
fake fake fake
Hater hater hater
Lol Thank you@@joeywheeler6815
@@ursamajor6347it’s the truth though. She was just one of many in the team working on the model. To call her the inventor is absurd.
@@joeywheeler6815reality reality reality
The foundation? Absolutely not. She worked on a foundation built by others. I'm sure she was a very smart lady but it's not nice to patronize black people.
Every discovery has a foundation.
There's nothing patronizing about it. The work she did built the foundation for modern-day GPS. Plain and simple
@first last and why should they be included? The video is about her.
dummy.
@first last When they talk Edison bulb invention, they never mention Howard latimer.
