Invisible Warriors shares the individual experiences of a small group of African American “Rosie the Riveters”, 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. These patriotic pioneers share their wartime memories, recounting their battles against racism at home, Nazism abroad and sexism everywhere. 

Please welcome documentary historian Gregory S. Cooke for this live event introducing his film Invisible Warriors.
