Invisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II
Invisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II
Saturday, March 28th | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Join the Reginald F. Lewis Museum in a film screening and discussion of Invisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II. Invisible Warriors gives voice to the hidden heroines who helped reshape both a nation at war and the course of American heritage. Told by the women who courageously fought both racism and sexism on America’s home front, this is the untold story of 600,000 Black “Rosie the Riveters.” These trailblazing women entered factories, government offices, and shipyards, shattering barriers and laying the groundwork for future generations of African American women.
This film screening will include a post discussion with filmmaker Gregory Cooke (virtually) and local Rosie Riveter Susie King (in person).
This program is in conjunction with Women’s History Month and National Black Women’s Labor Day (April 5).
