A month after the U.S. entered World War II, Kalamazoo’s Gibson Guitars brought in dozens of women to fill in for the men who had left the factory for the military. For years, Gibson kept their workforce of women a secret until a guitarist and writer stumbled upon a mysterious photograph taken during the war.
The fundraiser featured a performance of Lisa Mackie’s commemorative song “Kalamazoo Gals,” which is available to view in full here.
