We celebrate both Black History Month under the theme, “African Americans and the Arts”, and Women’s History Month as we pay tribute to women of African descent and their extraordinary contributions to society.
The Links, Incorporated members will screen an illuminating documentary that showcases the 600,000 African American women — “Rosie the Riveters” — who entered industry and government employment for the first time. Their courage, patriotism, and faith drove them to abandon their oppressive lives as domestics and sharecroppers to conquer new frontiers, which changed employment possibilities for all future generations of Black women.
Although World War II was the largest and arguably the most consequential event in human history, the role that Black females played and their impact on America has been largely ignored. Invisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II, a critically-acclaimed feature-length documentary, is their story.
Invisible Warriors Screening Sunday February 25, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. EST
