Interesting overview!

[@brendawimmer-ruscigno8630]

Why do you people always have to make everything about progress? Rosie the riveter had absolutely nothing to do with progressive agendas.
It is an absolute insult for you to try to bring my black Republican grandma who was a Rosie the riveter into your progressive agenda.

I don’t believe you have visited the Rosie the Riveter Homefront NHP….if you had you would hear and see evidence that both women and black Americans were offered new opportunities to work in war production industries. Yet discrimination against them was still strong. I work at the Visitor Center as a volunteer. Stop by when you are in Richmond, California, as we would love to hear about your grandmother’s experiences during WWII. There’s no entrance fee.
