Invisible Warriors tells the stories of the first Black women to work in industry and government administrative service. They fled lives as domestics and sharecroppers to empower themselves while working in war production and U.S. government offices.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with the film’s director, Professor Gregory Cooke and special guests Rear Admiral Sinclair M. Harris, USN (Retired) and Commander Stacey L. O’Neal. The theme of the discussion is Taking Command – Finding Opportunity Through Adversity.
