The inspiring story of a groundbreaking African AmericanĀ femaleĀ engineer who created the first computer-designed ship for the US NavyĀ
Raye MontagueĀ wasĀ an ambitious little girlĀ inĀ segregated Little Rock. She grew to be a womanĀ who spent a lifetime educating herself, both inside and outside of the classroom, so that she could become the person and professional she aspired to be.Ā Ā
Where some saw roadblocks, Montague only saw hurdles that needed to be overcome. Her mindset helped her become the first person to draft a Naval ship design by computer, using a program she worked late nights to debug. She did this as a single mother during the height of the Cold War, all the while imbuing her son with the hard-won wisdom she had accumulated throughout the years.Ā Ā
Equal parts coming-of-age tale, civil rights history, and reflection on the power of education,Ā Overnight CodeĀ is a tale about persistence and perseverance when the odds against you seemĀ insurmountable.Ā Ā
