Kerry Washington & ‘The Six Triple Eight’ Cast Reveal Untold WWII Story

[@kaycinnamon]

My Great Aunt who past away in 2020 at age 96, was in the 6888 Battalion. Clara Marie Webb. You will see her name in the credits at the end of the movie. I also have her autobiography of her time in the Army. In which she shares a newspaper clip announcing FIRST NEGRO WAC UNIT IN PARIS. ❤

[@antoyawhite319]

So beautiful. Did your aunt publish her autobiography? If not, may I encourage you to do so in her honor?

[@alexandernyekanjr4014]

Shame on Hollywood. I can't believe that no director or historian heard of this story. Wow ! 😮😮

[@Altrd_mom]

Wow, if only they would have done some sort of callout for these types of stories.

[@jadew9177]

@@alexandernyekanjr4014 I’m sure they have heard of these stories but we all see what gets pushed to be published

[@JamesCM86]

Amazing ❤

[@johneBGood]

Sorry, old white dude here, however, I am so proud of the work that these young women have done. I am not in a position where I will be able to see the movie, but as an old Canuck with a lot of cowboy in him, I was brought up in a culture where colour did not matter and these young ladies ROCK! Plus to tell this story that I am sure many have never heard of in such a profound way inspires many other young women and that is what we need more of. Less sex, violence, sci-fi, and more down-to-earth real stories of the heroic people from our past.

God Bless Sir!!

[@bernfran1313]

Sir, if you are not able to see this film, maybe listen to the soundtrack. Having served in the military, I can tell you that this film has made me even prouder to have served!

[@beverleyknight-davis5853]

Thank you so much to all the cast and especially Mr TYLER P. God bless you you my son... So glad that you stood the course. Our Black nation has been through it. Still we rise. We must never, ever, never forget our History and the wicked and racist treatment that has been done to our ancestors. We must focus on the millions of people who were chained and thrown at sea... over board. God bless you all. ❤

I was leaking from my eyes throughout the entire movie and also this interview. Very powerful movie and incredible actors on that stage. I tell anyone I meet now to watch this film. I get told I am an inspiration whenever i go out in public (white legless dude on a skateboard lol) however I feel the 855 women of Six Triple Eight are more inspiring and deserving of accolades than some bum like me. ❤❤❤ a goal for 2025 is to visit the memorial for them and pay my respects ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

Sorry, but the story was already told in documentaries all over the internet about blacks in World War 1 and 2. All you have to do is search if you're interested. All Perry did was steal the info and make a melodrama out of it. It is truly a piece of garbage and typical Perry fashion but he always will have the support of the sisterhood backing him up. Did you also know one of the reasons these black women were formed in WW2 was to keep Black male soldiers away from white women in Europe? This movie is an insult to the real women of this story.
