Living Voices brings life to history
Celebrate the Unsung Heroes of World War II
Who were the real “Rosie the Riveters?” How did Black Americans fight for democracy on two fronts?
Learn the little-known contributions of Black women in World War II aviation, as one trailblazing young pilot flies for Double Victory— championing democracy at home and abroad.
Antoinette and her family join the millions of Black Americans serving their country in the defense industries while bravely confronting racism, sexism and fascism on every front.
Developed in partnership with the Museum of Flight, Museum of History & Industry and The Boeing Company.
