The SixTripleEight

Tuesday, March 25th @ 10:00 PM (MPT2/Create)

In February 1945, the U.S. Army sent 855 women from the Women's Army Corps (WACs) to England and France to clear the backlog of mail in the European Theater of Operations.  The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the "SixTripleEight,” was the only predominantly-Black female battalion to serve in Europe during WWII, and were confronted with racism and sexism from their own leadership and troops.
