520 . ‡a"In 1944, the United States was facing a unique wartime crisis: too much mail. Millions of letters and packages, stacked from floor to ceiling, sat unsent in cold, dark warehouses, with no one to sort through the backlog and no way to deliver mail to the troops. Enter the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. Formed of Black women who had advocated fiercely for their right to enlist in the U.S. military, the 'Six Triple Eight' battalion had one special task: sort and send the mail. It wasn't easy, but the Six Triple Eight got to work. Putting in long hours to send out each piece of mail in record time, they had a four-word motto that powered them through: 'No mail, low morale!' As they helped deliver support to the soldiers on the front lines, these women proved there was nothing they couldn't do"-- ‡cProvided by publisher.
