Today We are re creating the iconic Westinghouse propaganda poster girl Rosie the Riveter. This poster became one of the most influential posters during WWII depicting women's strength and independence. As men were being drafted into war during the 1940's, it was women who were encouraged to join the workforce to uphold the integrity of the workplace and the economy while the men were over seas. In most cases women were let go of their duties once the men returned from service. Those who chose to stay, were paid substantially less and even demoted. Rosie the Riveter is still celebrated today as one of the most famed testaments to equality of women in the workforce. This is an easy and comfortable costume for all ages.

Today we'll be in Brooksville Florida finally visiting the Historic Spring Hill Cemetery. This African American Cemetery was established in the early 1800's and is the final resting place for many of Brooksville's early slave settlers. As settlers began arriving in Pierceville and Melendez communities ( eventually becoming Brooksville Fl ) in the 1840's, some owned black slaves. The earliest grave markers date back to the 1820's, it was at this time I believe that some of the enslaved who already populated the area met a horrible fate. On one grave marker of a man and wife the man is identified by a number. Many visitors to the cemetery have reported seeing the apparition of a man hanging from a tree. To read articles and watch video's of this hidden cemetery, you may get spooked at the way it is portrayed. What I encountered was a uniquely beautiful and very peaceful African American cemetery that even after 200 years has remained true to its roots. Music By....
