Speaker Series #2 at Heroes Hall Museum

Heroes Hall Museum presents its new speaker series, which will run through September on select Saturday mornings. The series will be about the tremendous achievements and challenges Black service members and other groups have faced while serving in the U.S. armed forces, and is hosted in conjunction with the museum’s newest exhibit, Fighting for the Right to Fight: African American Experiences in World War II.

The women kept mail flowing to nearly seven million soldiers in the European Theater.
