Rebecca (Becky) Naman was born in 1919 in Fresno, California. Her parents survived the Armenian genocide and emigrated to the US, marrying in an arranged marriage in the early twentieth century. Out of junior college, Naman worked for the Assistant State Treasurer Eugene Irving, who later offered her the chance to interview for a position at the McClellan Air Force Base. She began working in hiring at McClellan in 1941, where she remained until her retirement. She later served on the Sacramento County Commission on Aging and the California Commission on Aging. In this interview, Naman speaks about discrimination against Armenians, working at the McClellan Air Force Base, women and minorities in the workplace, hiring practices, lesbians and gay men during the war, her husband’s work conducting Rosie the Riveter training, postwar layoffs, and her activities after retirement.
