(A) The History & Legacy of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion

By the end of 1944, with the D-day landings complete and the hard-fought Battle of the Bulge underway, the Army faces another daunting challenge: mail warehouses in Europe overflowed with mountains of undelivered letters and packages. A shortage of postal workers meant seven millions Americans on the continent were feeling disconnected from their loved ones at home. In response, a Women's Army Corps (WAC) unit, eventually designated at the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, was assembled and sent to England and France.

Come learn about the only unit of Black women to serve overseas during World War II and how they efficiently delivered that severe mail backlog under the command of Major Charity Adams.

Presented by Dr. Karen T. Jordan, descendant of the 6888th, historian, and ambassador.
