Popis: According to U.S. history, African American women have always been active yet uncelebrated participants of the labor force. While White women’s struggle and movement for change had a name and significant place in history, the struggle and movement for the rights of equality for African American women went unnamed, and sometimes unrecognized. As a part of the labor force African American women were invisible to mainstream American society and its value system. Unlike their Anglo- American counterparts, their participation in the labor force was not optional and it came at an unreasonable price of personal and social sacrifice, and the true measure of that sacrifice has yet to be fully understood and revered.
