Rare Photos of Black Rosie the Riveters

During World War II, 600,000 African-American women entered the wartime workforce. Previously, black women’s work in the United States was largely limited to domestic service and agricultural work, and wartime industries meant new and better-paying opportunities – if they made it through the hiring process, that is. White women were the targets of the U.S. government’s propaganda efforts, as embodied in the lasting and lauded image of Rosie the Riveter.Though largely ignored in America’s popular history of World War II, black women’s important contributions in World War II factories, which weren’t always so welcoming, are stunningly captured in these comparably rare snapshots of black Rosie the Riveters.

Reblogging because I’ve never seen these before, and I bet a lot of people haven’t. 

My great grandma was a bomb builder in Cleveland. There’s a restaurant in the city, near the airport, called 101st Bombardiers (I think) that we went to after her funeral. We got into a conversation with the owner about how she specifically wanted us all to go there, and the owner called up the previous owner, her mother, who showed up and told us tales about my grandmother from back when they worked together. I don’t know if there were any women of color they worked with, but knowing my grandmother they would have been fast friends.

Update

Gillian Philip is doxxing fans and MINORS now. A fan recently sent her an email voicing their concerns about her views and the impact they have on her work and fan base. Gillian decided to post the fan’s full name and email address to their PUBLIC Twitter in an attack. The fan is a MINOR who runs a Warriors fan account. How disgusting do you have to be to dox and potentially HARM a MINOR!?

in case anyone (like me) was just hearing about this, Gillian works on the Erin Hunter team and is now openly a TERF.

she works on Survivors and Bravelands.

see that checkered flag? it’s a TERF dogwhistle, something they put in their usernames or bios to let other transphobes know they’re one of them. if you come across someone using it, avoid avoid avoid.

Reblogging for the dog-whistle info, it’s important

GOOOOOOOOO YOU FUCKING HORNSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

i would kill for a bear version of this

GOOOOOOOOO YOU FUCKING HORNSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Conservatives want to negate black humanity and eliminate their experiences/POV.

[None of the books teach critical race theory]

Conservative hysteria about “CRT” was always a cover for white supremacy, and fuck any mainstream media figures who have been willing to engage with them as if they were being intellectually honest.

Reblogging again because I just realized that if I had this advice in high school I would’ve never made a tumblr account.

Also works for most of those news sites like WSJ or NYT that only let you read a little bit, or block adblockers. Also some disable the scroll bar but if you go to the right side of the console after hitting F12 and look for the CSS element “overflow” and change it from “hidden” to “visible” then you can continue scrolling for free. Might have to click around on different parts of the page to find it, but it should work.

Trying to "cure" furries and finding out that it's immoral because you can't just get rid of marginalized groups and it's a metaphor for genocide

We absolutely took it.

Donna Noble was a female character who:

-was in her early forties but didn’t have her life all together yet

-didn’t have a perfect Hollywood figure but nobody made a joke about her weight (to my knowledge)

-super funny and empathetic

-doubted her capabilities at first but learned to trust herself

-wanted to go on crazy space adventures but simultaneously wanted to get married and have a family and she was never derided for wanting both

-had a rich platonic relationship with the Doctor

-Appreciate Donna Noble
