Career
Williams worked in the Women’s Army Corps as a photographer from 1944 to 1970. She was stationed at the all-black base in Iowa because the military was still segregated.
Williams photographed all things military. She took intelligence photos, medicine, defense, and ID pictures. Since the military was segregated until the Executive Order 9981, she had taken many photos of African Americans. Within and outside of the military, Williams photographed the “New Negro” that changed the stereotypical narrative of African Africans. Cameras were her mask from the violence of the military.
