FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHT TO FIGHT: AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCES IN WORLD WAR II

Event Description

Join The National WWII Museum in honoring Black History Month by participating in an interactive webinar examining African American experiences in WWII. In this 60-minute program, student reporters examine artifacts from The National WWII Museum's signature special exhibit, travel to California to learn about injustices in a segregated military at Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial, the site of the deadliest munitions disaster during the war, and explore Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park to understand transitions and tensions in American defense factories. A panel of WWII experts, including a Tuskegee Airman reenactor, will be on hand to answer student questions during the webinar.  Register online
