NHPTV Connections Celebrating Women's History Month Portraits For The Home Front Elizabeth Black left a promising Pittsburgh art career to join the American Red Cross effort during World War II. She proposed a unique project to sketch hundreds of soldiers, sailors and airmen throughout Europe and send the treasured portraits to worried families back home – all across America. Seventy years later, Black’s son uncovered her fascinating memorabilia and brought it to the world. This documentary explores Black’s lost art career, and introduces us to elderly veterans who encountered Miss Black on the battlefield, and the amazed families who see for the first time the portraits of their loved ones that never arrived.

They ruminate on their heartaches and triumphs, and evaluate the “dowry” they’ll leave for future generations. If their parents were the Greatest Generation, perhaps this generation was the Loudest. They changed the world, at least in their fevered dreams, and the world changed them.
