People only see and read what is put into textbooks about our history. Those individuals who helped in ways people would not think matter did. Stories of these women are important and vital to not only our fabric of American history but to young women of color who grew up not knowing what these amazing and powerful women within history that was profoundly significant to those serving and their families. In retrospect, they saved people. They saved lives. Seeing this movie made me think of the Wind Talkers of the Marines who were Navajo. No one knew about any of them nor did they know if the Borinqueneers of the 65th Infantry whom about my Puerto Rican people and my island. As an officer in Highschool Air force ROTC at the tender age of 17, I learned for the very first time about the WASPS that flew for the Air Force during WWII and that was back in 1986-1987. Ended up writing a paper with a small group of other female cadets who helped to earn our squad Honor Unit. That was made possible by interviewing one of the pilots herself at Andrews Air Force base. What I took from that as a young teenage girl in a time where women were trying to gain equality within the work place was monumental to me. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like for those young men and women back then. History hides the significance of other races and cultures from those most important pieces of history. I am only thankful that we have people like Tyler Perry and others who bring them to light and share with the world their amazing and significant contributions to the fabric of our history.
