Fighting for Equality on the World War II Home Front explores the experiences of women and African-American workers who flooded into the industrial workforce during World War II, taking jobs that had previously been available largely to white men. Participants will use primary sources and media about the March on Washington Movement, the struggles of black soldiers, and the gap between wartime propaganda messages and the perspectives of women working in defense factories.
