The Six Triple Eight, officially known as the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, was the only all-Black, all-female battalion to serve overseas during World War II. Established in 1945, they were tasked with sorting and delivering millions of pieces of mail that had been delayed due to the war, ensuring that letters and packages reached soldiers on the front lines. The battalion, which faced racial and gender discrimination, became an enduring symbol of resilience, breaking barriers for African American women in the military and contributing significantly to the war effort. Their successful completion of the mission, despite the many obstacles they faced, played a pivotal role in boosting morale among soldiers and exemplified the critical role of women of color in wartime labor.The contributions of the Six Triple Eight to the labor movement extend beyond their military service. By defying the gender and racial norms of the time, the battalion not only demonstrated the capabilities of Black women in a professional and technical capacity but also helped shift public perception about their roles in the workforce. Their efforts laid the groundwork for future generations of Black women to enter more diverse fields, particularly in roles traditionally dominated by white men. The battalion’s legacy is a testament to the intersection of labor, race, and gender in the broader struggle for civil rights and equality in the workplace.Learn More: www.pbs.org/video/the-six-triple-eight-ji6hnl/#ASALH #AfricanAmericansAndLabor #6888thcentralpostaldirectorybattalion #SixTripleEight ...
