Meet the Curators of 'Beyond Rosie' Exhibit

The Norcross Welcome Center will host a historical discussion on its latest exhibit, Beyond Rosie: Women in World War II.

The curators of the Norcross Welcome Center's latest exhibit, Beyond Rosie: Women in World War II, will join guests in a discussion about the show this Wednesday.

Julia Brock and Richard Harker of Kennessaw State University's Museum of History & Holocaust Education will talk about the many roles women had during World War II, in connection with their 10-panel traveling exhibit.

The Beyond Rosie title refers to Rosie the Riveter, the lady whom many of us recognize from the "We Can Do It!" posters.
