SUMMARY:Mill Talk: Why are workers' stories missing at historic sites?
DESCRIPTION:The labor movement in the United States is a bulwark of democracy and a driving force for social and economic equality. Yet its stories remain largely unknown to Americans. Robert Forrant and Mary Anne Trasciatti edited a collection of essays focused on nationwide efforts to propel the history of labor and working people into mainstream narratives of US history. The book\, “Where Are the Workers?” shows how working-class perspectives can expand our historical memory and inform and inspire contemporary activism. The talk will explore lessons learned from nationwide efforts to promote our understanding of labor and working-class history. \nMill Talks at the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation are free and open to the public and are made possible by the generous support of the Lowell Institute. \nFree to the pubic\, but registration required.

SUMMARY:Mill Talk: The stories of women war workers at Raytheon\, 1941-1945
DESCRIPTION:From suffragette to war worker – and military ranks open to women\, presented by Chet Michalak\, Raytheon historian and archivist. \nThe suffragette movement ends the 100-year struggle for women’s rights in 1920 and is followed by a home front effort that dramatically increases the ranks of female war workers.

In 1977 he joined the U.S. Army 3/2nd Armored Cavalry followed by a tour with the Massachusetts Army National Guard.
