The Women of the 6th Triple-8: America's First All-Black Female Battalion

During World War II, the women of the 6th Triple-8, America's first all-black female battalion, were tasked with an overwhelming mission. They were responsible for sorting and delivering millions of letters and packages that had been backed up in warehouses for years. Despite facing racism, misogyny, and second-class treatment in a segregated army, these women worked tirelessly, sorting and sending 65,000 pieces of mail each day. Their dedication and resourcefulness allowed them to successfully process the backlog of mail, bringing joy and connection to countless soldiers serving overseas.
