SUMMARY:A Soldier’s Life: A Black Woman’s Rise from Army Brat to Six Triple Eight Champion
DESCRIPTION:Join retired Army Colonel Edna W. Cummings to  converse on her  extraordinary personal journey in the US military and her triumphant effort to honor her predecessors with the Congressional Gold Medal in her new book\, A Soldier’s Life: A Black Woman’s Rise from Army Brat to Six Triple Eight Champion. This memoir  chronicles Cummings’s unlikely but successful path to leadership roles in the army and afterward\, tells the story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion\, known as the Six Triple Eight—a trailblazing African American World War II Women’s Army Corps unit now the subject of a Netflix film and a Broadway-bound musical—and the grassroots campaign Cummings led to honor them.  A book signing will take place after the talk.

SUMMARY:Invisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis film screening will include a post discussion with filmmaker Gregory Cooke (virtually)\,Marilyn Annette Barber\, and local Rosie Riveter Susie King (in person). \nThis program is in conjunction with Women’s History Month and National Black Women’s Labor Day (April 5). \n\nPurchase tickets here
