Women's History Month

African-American woman wearing a denim shirt and a red scarf with white polka dots is taking a picture of a young African-American girl also wearing a denim shirt and a red scarf with white polka dots. The young girl is posing with her arm bent upward and hand in a fist, in front of a yellow poster with a black speech bubble that says We Can Do It in white letters, similar to the famous Rosie the Riveter poster.
