About this listen

When the United States entered World War II, it had to face its own contradictions at home. Opportunities opened up for Black people and women in support of the war effort. But ideas about race and gender didn't change as swiftly.

Listen to the story of the first all-Black battalion in the Women's Army Corps—the Six Triple Eight—and its leader, Major Charity Adams. These women bravely confronted the racism and sexism they experienced. And they did it while creating a system to make sure millions of letters and packages got to soldiers fighting in Europe. This inspiring story will introduce listeners to heroes who were victorious in more ways than one.

This story is encouraging, and a must read to help understand the barriers that Black women face just to show up in a space and have to work harder than everyone else with zero recognition. sigh

Excellent story about intelligence of black women in the service of our country. There should be more books on how women have served their country.

This is yet another example of the many stories of bravery and heroism on the part of African-Americans that are rarely discussed in the nation’s public schools. Thank goodness for filmmakers like Tyler Perry.

Wish there was something more substantial to recount the bravery of the 6888 and its fearless leader, Lt. Col, Charity Adams, but this does a good introductory job.

Good for a brief recap

I thought I was ordering the story if theses women. It was a short review of black women in the military. I would like my credit back. I feel like I wasted it.

The persecution of the black women

This was just some facts and basic events about the six triple eight. The writer was more interested in showing how poorly black people were treated during that time period than telling the story of this group of women.

It could have been more
