These virtual programs are proudly presented in partnership with multiple area public libraries.
Invisible Warriors shares the individual experiences of a small group of elegant 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. These patriotic pioneers share their wartime memories, recounting their battles against racism at home, Nazism abroad, and sexism everywhere.
Producer Gregory S. Cooke is the Founder and President of the Basil and Becky Educational Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to relocating African Americans from the margins to the main pages of American and global history.
