The Six Triple Eight

Major Charity E. Adams and Captain Mary Kearney inspect members of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion in England on February 15, 1945.

The WWII 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion was the first and only all-Black female unit to be deployed overseas during WWII.

Their nickname was “Six-Triple Eight” and their motto was “No Mail, Low Morale.”

THE SIX TRIPLE EIGHT is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Despite facing racism and sexism – and grueling working conditions – they were committed to serving their country with honor and distinction. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers. Written and directed by Tyler Perry, the film stars Kerry Washington as Major Charity Adams, the commanding officer of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. Produced by Tyler Perry, Nicole Avant, Angi Bones, Tony L. Strickland, Keri Selig and Carlota Espinosa, the film features an ensemble cast including Ebony Obsidian, Milauna Jackson, Kylie Jefferson, Shanice Shantay, Sarah Jeffery, Pepi Sonuga, Moriah Brown, Jeanté Godlock, Susan Sarandon, with Dean Norris, and Sam Waterston, and Oprah Winfrey. Based on the article by Kevin M. Hymel, the film features an original song “The Journey” written by Diane Warren and performed by H.E.R., with choreography by Debbie Allen.

Emmy winner Kerry Washington is renowned for her powerful portrayals of real-life figures. From her roles in the Academy Award-winning film Ray and The Last King of Scotland to her iconic portrayal of Olivia Pope in the hit TV series Scandal, Washington has consistently brought depth and nuance to these complex characters. Now, she takes on another true story, embodying Major Charity Adams in Tyler Perry's latest film, The Six Triple Eight.

This compelling war drama follows the journey of 855 Black women who enlisted to tackle a daunting task: resolving a three-year backlog of undelivered mail. Facing discrimination and the harsh realities of war-torn Europe, these remarkable women defied expectations, sorting over 17 million pieces of mail ahead of schedule.

For Washington, honoring Adams' legacy was paramount. She immersed herself in extensive research, determined to capture the essence of this pioneering woman.

The Six Triple Eight is now streaming on Netflix.

This movie was amazing! Full of pride. Full of grace. Full of beauty. Just so much fullness. Fullness until your cup runneth over with so much emotion. I felt so full as soon as it ended.

Kerry Washington portrayed Lieutenant Colonel Charity Adams so beautifully! Milauna Jackson’s portrayal of Captain Abbie Noel Campbell was equally beautiful too! They both did such incredible, honorable portrayals of these women! Stellar performances—outstanding acting from these ladies!!! Y’all, Kerry was fantastic! Phenomenal acting!

Their friendship and relationship as peers and co-workers and fellow commanding officers…the strength in that dynamic was so powerful. It’s fierce and a force. Again, that Black woman sisterhood is so vital! Telling Corporal Lena Derriecott King’s story through it is impactful. So glad she was able to see it and have her story told before her passing.

They willingly wanted to serve our country to help liberate another. While facing domestic racism & mistreatment, the same abroad and within the ranks. Despite it, they accomplished what they were sent out on mission to do even with all the odds placed and stacked against them. That is power!

Overwhelmingly a great, historical film about all these beautiful, brave, heroic Black American women! I pray all their descendants are proud of them and their rich legacy.

Netflix’s ‘The Six Triple Eight,’ a New Tyler Perry Film About the Women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion

The Black, female unit sorted through a massive backlog of undelivered mail, raising American soldiers’ morale during World War II

Romay Johnson Davis

When I interviewed Davis in November 2022, she was the oldest surviving member of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the first battalion of African American women to ever serve in the U.S. military overseas. (Davis died on June 21, 2024, at 104.) She described working long shifts in rat-infested warehouses in England and France and chauffeuring military personnel around Europe during the deadliest conflict in human history. But when she looked back at the U-boat incident, her voice brimmed with amusement and pride.

It looks promising 🤞🏽
