In 1944, the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion of the US Women's Army Corps was formed. It would be the only all-Black, all-women battalion to serve overseas during WW2. Its job: end a massive backlog of mail that had not reached 7 million US soldiers in Europe.

824 enlisted & 31 officers, all Black women, trained at Fort Oglethorpe, GA, commanded by Major Charity Edna Adams. They learned to identify enemy aircraft, climb ropes, evacuate ships, & took long forced marches with rucksacks. They left for Europe in Feb 1945.

Chased by U-boats, they arrived in England & were immediately attacked by nazi V-1 rocket. Heading to Birmingham, they found warehouses full of millions of pieces of undelivered mail, often with rotting food covered in rats. They had their work cut out for them.

From 1893 until 1942, Black men joining the US Navy were restricted to mess & steward duies. In 1944, under pressure from Eleanor Roosevelt, the Navy finally allowed a group of Black men to attend naval officer training. They became known as the Golden Thirteen

The men's backgrounds varied - teachers, metalsmiths, lawyers, students, athletes. Most were the children, or grandchildren, of slaves. They ranged from 23-36 years old. They were segregated from white officer candidates & even Black enlisted recruits. /2

Usually a 16 week course of seamanship, navigation, gunnery, & naval regulation at Great Lakes Naval Base in Illinois, the Navy reduced it to 8, hoping they would fail. The men instead stayed up nights studying, covering the barracks windows so as not to be discovered. /3
