Black women in mathematics will be on display in 2017 through a new film called Hidden Figures.
From Wikipedia:
Hidden Figures is a film based on the non-fiction book by the same name that recounts the story of the African-American mathematician Katherine Johnson and her two colleagues, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, who helped NASA catch up in the Space Race. Using their calculations, John Glenn became the first American astronaut to make a complete orbit of the Earth.
Taraji Phenson plays Katherine Johnson, an African-American mathematics genius, Janelle Monae plays Mary Jackson, and Octavia Spencer plays Dorothy Vaughan.
