Event Details

Meet a small group of ladies who represent the 600,000 Black women who fled lives as domestics and sharecroppers to work in factories and U.S. government offices during World War II - the African American "Rosie the Riveters". These patriotic pioneers share wartime memories, recounting their battles against racism at home, Nazism abroad, and sexism everywhere.
