Join us for a screening of the documentary Invisible Warriors - African American Women in World War II.
Join the Library and the Royal Embassy of the Netherlands for a film screening and conversation about the documentary Invisible Warriors - African American Women in World War II.
Invisible Warriors features real pioneers – the first Black women to work in industry and government administrative service. The film is an unforgettable conversation among a diverse group of African American “Rosie the Riveters” who recount what life was really like during World War II. They are hard working underdogs of high character who do battle and win. They fled lives as domestics and sharecroppers to empower themselves while working in war production and U.S. government offices.
Following a screening of the film, we will hear from the film's director Gregory Cooke and other special guests.
