Is a local Rosie memorial overdue?

Women were an integral part of the "Battle of Production" in Baltimore.

Hear Jack Breihan, a history professor at Loyola University Maryland and emeritus member of the Museum board, talk about and show photos from his recent visit to the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Park in Richmond, Calif.
Professor Breihan will make the case for a long-overdue memorial to local factory workers who won the "Battle of Production" to ensure victory in World War II. He also will show photos of Maryland factory sites during the war.
The 7 PM January 5 talk is part of the Monday Speaker Series hosted at the Lockheed Martin Corporation auditorium, 2323 Eastern Blvd. in Middle River. The event is free and open to the public. You must show a Photo ID and those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and the Museum will be joining with other local organizations to honor the occasion with several events.
