In honor of National Black Women’s Labor Day, Atlanta’s APEX Museum will screen the historical documentary “Invisible Warriors: Honoring The Legacy of Black ‘Rosie the Riveters'” on Saturday.

The film illuminates the stories of women who contributed to the World War II effort and ultimately helped to reshape American history.

“There were Black women who were code breakers in Washington, D.C.; there were Black women who built airplanes, tanks, ships. You name it,” said Gregory Cooke, the documentary’s producer and director.
