DESCRIPTION:Home Front Heroes And The Role of Black Workers \nWith Betty Reid Soskin\n 
 Betty Reid Soskin who is now a US Park Ranger at the Rosie The Riveter 
 Education Center saw the segregation against black workers in the shipyards 
 where she worked during the World War II. Tens of thousands of not only 
 black workers but also women were able to get decent paying jobs for the 
 first time but they faced discriminatory treatment and had to fight for 
 their rights.\n This discrimination continued after the war when they were 
 laid off and other workers were rehired to replace them. Soskin was there 
 face to face with this history and will be screening some videos about 
 these issues. She will also be joining the LaborFest Maritime boat trip on 
 July 21.\nSee
