This print showcases the iconic Women's US Army Service uniform worn by Brigadier General Hazel Johnson-Brown in 1980. A trailblazer and pioneer, she made history as both the first African American woman to achieve the rank of brigadier general and the first African American to serve as Chief of the Army Nurse Corps. The military cap featured in this image holds immense significance, symbolizing her remarkable achievements and breaking barriers within the armed forces. Crafted from a combination of wool, polyester, plastic, and metal materials, it represents not only her personal journey but also a pivotal moment in black history. Displayed against a backdrop that reflects our nation's cultural heritage and industrial prowess, this photograph captures an important chapter in American history. It serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in terms of equality and diversity within our armed forces. Preserved at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this artifact stands as a testament to bravery, resilience, and unwavering dedication. As we admire General Johnson-Brown's dress uniform - composed of cotton-polyester blouse with plastic buttons secured by Velcro TM technology; polyester jacket adorned with metal buttons and pins; polyester skirt featuring a metal zipper alongside plastic buttons - we are reminded that clothing can hold deep historical significance. This print invites us to reflect on General Hazel Johnson-Brown's extraordinary contributions while honoring her legacy as an inspiration for future generations aspiring to break down barriers within any field or industry.
