More on the Speaker:
Claire's presentation highlights the boldness, determination, creativity and bravery of American men AND women as they prepared for, and then valiantly fought, World War II.
Spurred on by the message of Franklin Roosevelt’s “Arsenal of Democracy” speech, she will share the incredible history of the Willow Run B-24 Bomber Plant and the teamwork of the powerful Detroit automotive industry.
We will all cheer for the dramatic and vital roles played by women as they showed the nation that they were willing and able to fill the work force gaps caused by men going into military service. “We Can Do It’ became the rallying cry for millions of women who had, until this time period, never envisioned working on an industrial assembly line building the weapons of war.
As a Tribute Rosie, she honors the women who are called “Original Rosies” because they worked “the line” during WWII.
Under the auspices of the Veteran’s History Project, their memories are being preserved because they are, indeed, veterans of the Home Front and their personal stories add depth and detail to our national narrative.
You will be amazed, energized and inspired by this chapter of American History.
