💨 Abstract

The Black, all-female 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the "Six Triple Eight," will receive the Congressional Gold Medal for their service during World War II. The unit, which served in England and France, cleared a backlog of 17 million pieces of mail in three months and twice as fast as projected. Despite their significant contributions, they were often overlooked compared to their white counterparts.
