Zaddie Roosevelt Johnson was born in 1917 in East Gadsden, Alabama on the Paden farm. She grew up in a household with eight children and had a rough childhood being born during The Great Depression. Her family was a group of sharecroppers, which means they worked the land several different farms for the land owners. Her father frowned upon any of his children getting married, especially his daughters. Zaddie rebelled and at the age of 17 she ran away and married Roosevelt Johnson, whom everyone called Ted. Zaddie and her husband had two children by the time she was twenty. The Johnsons struggled like most young families did during that time.

The young family rented a two room house, sharing a bathroom in the middle of the home with another
Zaddie started off by tacking the joints so the welders could weld them. Eventually she joined a welding crew that consisted of just 15 women. There were not enough men around at the time to perform these specific welding jobs due to World War II. One day Zaddie and her crew went on a worker’s strike because the night crew was inexperienced and messed up necessary welds and the day crew was required to fix the mistakes and incomplete work. She continued her career as a welder all over the country, moving from place to place to find work. Zaddie even owned her own restaurant and slowly stopped welding as she found herself in the restaurant more often

”(Weber, 96). Their job was to stop the strike breakers. They would do things such as taunt them, and in some situations it would become very violent. The strike would end, but the stories of what these women did still continue. Women have always been an important part of history.

Many of the lives that were taken in the fire tried to fight their way out it but they could not, because doors were locked and also because they just could not escape. The story also involves stories of women and immigrant women’s who came to America to find a difference and fight hard to maintain their families.

When all the men were across the ocean fighting a war for world peace, the home front soon found itself in a shortage for workers. Before the war, women mostly depended on men for financial support. But with so many gone to battle, women had to go to work to support themselves. With patriotic spirit, women one by one stepped up to do a man's work with little pay, respect or recognition. Labor shortages provided a variety of jobs for women, who became street car conductors, railroad workers, and shipbuilders. Some women took over the farms, monitoring the crops and harvesting and taking care of livestock. Women, who had young children with nobody to help them, did what they could do to help too. They made such things for the soldiers overseas, such as flannel shirts, socks and scarves.

The Johnson-Jeffries fight was significant in many ways. Johnson and other African Americans helped prove that blacks could be dominate at sports. The knowledge that blacks can be good at sports changed, but the acceptance did not. Jack Johnson was the world heavyweight champion and was the first black heavyweight champion. White people couldn’t stand having a black athlete on top especially with their social darwinstic view point that whites are better at everything. This is summarized by “ Johnson now ruled the boxing world, much to the chagrin and horror of whites.” The events before and after the fight tell us that whites thought they were of higher stature in every way than people of color in every way. In this context masculinity and
On March 12, 1932, Andrew Young was born. His family was wealthier than some, it being a prosperous middle-class family. He was born and raised in New Orleans, LA.

The derivation of this controversial month was initiated in 1926 by Carter G Woodson. He started “Negro History Week” which was first celebrated in the event of both the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas and then branched out into the entire month of February. Woodson was a student at Harvard University and, in 1912, became the first person of enslaved parents to receive a Ph.D from that particular elite Ivy League school. During a lecture, one of his white professors, Edward Channing, had stated that “The Negro had no history.” Upon hearing this, Woodson was inspired to do something about it. Since then, every year, we celebrate the history of and the contributions that people of color have achieved. In doing so, people have learned how to impact other people. They spread awareness to future generations to remind them of their past and better themselves for the future. We thank and respect people of color because of how they changed the way our nation and their accomplishments. If we disrespect someone’s value, culture, history, traditions, there will be a gap in communication and we’ll be back to where we started from.
Thomas Jefferson said, “I find that the harder I work, the less I call it work”. I have often found myself in situations where I needed to fix something but could not because it is metal. I believe this might be why I began to show interest in welding. There is great satisfaction in being able to create or fix a metal object on your own. As a Certified Welder, I will be able to combine my hardworking drive with my personal interest in metal working to be a successful welder. This paper will explore the job description, requirements, and salary expectation for a Certified Welder.
