SUMMARY:Film: The Six Triple Eight (70 minutes)
DESCRIPTION:In February 1945\, the U.S. Army sent 855 black 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 Six Triple Eight\, was the only all-black female battalion to serve in Europe during WWII. By war’s end\, the Six Triple Eight had cleared over 17 million pieces of backlogged mail ensuring the troops stayed in touch with their loved ones back home.  A post discussion with the film producer and cast from the film will follow. \nThe Six Triple Eight Film Trailer \nIncluded with Museum Admission. \nLet us know you are coming.
