Honoring a pioneer // President Obama presents the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Katherine G. Johnson of Newport News on Nov. 24 during an event in the East Room of the White House. The 97-year-old was one of the few women and African-Americans who worked for NASA when she started as a pool mathematician at the space agency’s Langley Research Center in Hampton in 1953. Her mathematic computations have influenced every major space program from America’s first manned space flight in 1961 to today’s Space Shuttle program. Mrs. Johnson was one of 17 individuals honored last week by President Obama, some posthumously, with the nation’s highest civilian award.

A passer by checks out this artistic tribute to Kleph Dollaz, the Richmond rapper and producer who died in his sleep of a heart condition. He was 41. Painted two years ago by artist and relative Michelle Angela Ortiz-Durant, the mural decorates the side of Alex’s Thai Cuisine in Walnut Alley in Shockoe Bottom. Born Darrell K. Durant, Kleph Dollaz was part of Ill Biskits, which in 1995 became one of the first Virginia groups to sign with a major label. He went on to produce such acts as Talib Kweli, Black Moon and M.O.P. and to release such rap solos as the 2011 “Square in the Circle.” He also mentored youths. His family is keeping his work alive through God’s Morning Foundation, named for the greeting he used in place of “good morning” on his social media accounts.
