"Invisible Warriors" Screening and Reception

“Invisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II” Screening and Q&A

“Invisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II,” produced and directed by former Drexel Assistant Adjunct Professor, Gregory S. Cooke, features the amazing stories of the first African American women to work in industry and government administrative service. It is an unforgettable conversation among Rosie the Riveters who share their wartime memories, recounting their battles against racism at home, Nazism abroad and sexism everywhere.

Join us for an exclusive virtual screening of “Invisible Warriors” for the Drexel community, followed by a Q&A with Cooke. Ruth Wilson who is one of the 600,000 African American Rosies, and who turned 98 in April, will give a special pre-recorded welcome. Wilson used to work in the Philadelphia Navy Yard and helped build the aircraft carrier the USS Valley Forge.

In lieu of a registration fee, guests are encouraged to make a donation of any amount. Donations to Drexel will go toward the completion of the documentary. Those who donate $5,000 or more will have their names included in the documentary credits.
