It’s important to know that hijab is banned in schools in most of the european countries, such as france, belgium, switzerland etc. Millions of girls have to take their hijab off everyday in order to have access to education, and I am one of them. Please spread this as much as possible, it has become so normal here that I feel like a fool for even mentioning it, but I’m pretty sure it goes against the human rights. This senseless law has been on since 2004 and pretends that all the students have to be “equal” and it is prohibited to show that you belong to any religion, any religious sign must be set aside. However, most of us have to take our hijab off in schools where you can clearly see a christmas tree or a christian cross. “Yeah but it’s not the same”, they say. Tell me about double standards. I pray for days when we don’t have to chose between religion and education.

[ID an image with top and bottom text and two pictures of women. The one at the top is a nun in traditional nuns dress which is black and white, the one at the bottom is a Muslim woman wearing an orangish red hijab or shawl? (I am not Muslim i don’t know the correct word) Both head covers completely cover the hair and neck of the two women. The top text reads: A-OK in Public institutions in “secular” France. This text goes with the image of the nun. The bottom text reads: completely illegal in “secular” totally non-racist France with no racism problem at all [sarcasm] This text goes with the image of the Muslim woman. END ID]

During World War II, 600,000 African-American women entered the wartime workforce. Previously, black women’s work in the United States was largely limited to domestic service and agricultural work, and wartime industries meant new and better-paying opportunities – if they made it through the hiring process, that is. White women were the targets of the U.S. government’s propaganda efforts, as embodied in the lasting and lauded image of Rosie the Riveter.Though largely ignored in America’s popular history of World War II, black women’s important contributions in World War II factories, which weren’t always so welcoming, are stunningly captured in these comparably rare snapshots of black Rosie the Riveters.

Reblogging because I’ve never seen these before, and I bet a lot of people haven’t. 

If you are really interested in this history, might I recommend both Creating Rosie the Riveter: Class, Gender, and Propaganda in World War II and Bitter Fruit: African-American Women in World War II.
