The case for a Rosie memorial

Professor Breihan chats with "Rosie" Violet Johnson after his talk.
How do you preserve the story of the "Rosie the Riveters" for future generations?
Jack Breihan, history professor at Loyola University, showed photos and talked about his recent visit to the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Park in California.
He then made the case for a memorial in Baltimore to honor those who worked in local factories.  Jack used his presentation to show the breadth of the war effort in Maryland that ensured victory for the Allies 70 years ago.
The Museum is joining with several other institutions this year to honor the women and men who made the victory possible.  www.WW2inMaryland.org.
