How come White TV never spoke about this? Thank you Tyler, may God continue to bless you.

Maybe because sorting out the mail in England just a few months before the end of hostilities in Europe isn't considered the most important part of the European theatre?

@@monarchist1838 Actually, it was. If you had served or had common sense, you would know how important it was for soldiers and their families could communicate. Soldier morale was a matter of life and death, and morale was low and stress levels were high because families did not know if their children were alive after not receiving replies to multiple letters over months or years. Soldier felt abandoned and ignored because they did not receive their mail. What those women did was to breathe life back into soldiers and their families. Even when soldiers died, at least their families could get the word and closure.

@@TipToeThroughThePrettyTulips I have indeed served, and still do. Post is indeed important, but one reason this story hasn’t been told on the screen before was likely do to the fact that fighting the Axis was deemed the more important issue at stake. My Gran was an ATS servicewomen in the British Army. The ATS served a variety of roles from logistics to manning anti-aircraft guns. My Gran served in the Clyde during the height of the blitz. Over 700 ATS women perished. The late Queen and Churchill’s daughter served in its ranks. Many including my Gran weren’t even decorated at the end of the war with the mass of demobilisations. So in regards to the above comment degrading ‘whiteness’, my Gran who was a white women, her story and that of others hasn’t been told on screen.

@@monarchist1838 Actually, the 6888 cleared not one, but two backlogs. The other one was in France. Both were done in half the time. The question you should be asking is why did the military fail at carrying out such a simple task prior to the 6888? You do realize that there was a more than 2 year mail backlog, and there was no other way for people to keep in touch. There were no cell phones. Think about how you would manage if you had no cell phone or any other means of communicating to your loved ones for more than two years while away from home in a whole other country. While at war. It is hard for me to fathom that a military person can’t make sense of how big a deal this was. Not to mention that most people at that time could barely write and most likely had not graduated from high school. Blacks were 10 or so percent of the population, so this applied to Whites as well. They did not know how to properly address a letter and were likely barely literate. No wonder the folks before the 6888th gave up on processing the mail due addressing nicknames instead of names given at birth, and sometimes no last names. These soldiers were also on the move and their locations were top secret. The ladies had to deduce where the men were currently at or likely to be moved to next by using their own deductive reasoning. These ladies had to be creative and think outside of the box in order, but their leader, Charity Adams had degrees in Physics, Math, Latin and Psychology. She was a logistical genius. And if you served, you know how essential logistics is to military operations. Your dismissive response was slightly entertaining, though.

@@monarchist1838 Women’s stories are usually never told. Mileva Marić-Einstein was a Serbian physicist and mathematician and wife of Albert Einstein, wrote many of his papers and was given no credit, though he did give her the money from his Nobel prize. Watson and Crick, should have been Watson, Crick and Franklin. Rosalind Franklin's role in the discovery of DNA was hidden by W&C. This is what men do to women, especially during those times. Now because you are England, you know nothing about racial segregation and oppression that Black people suffered under during that time. Blacks were not regarded as human beings and were treated accordingly. Yet these men and women volunteered to fight for a country who enacted laws written specifically to keep them in a sub-human status and could be beaten or killed simply for drinking out of a White’s only drinking fountain. Many in my family served admirably during WWII for a country that they loved but who hated them.

WWII : Just about every military unit could have a movie made about them. Whether from difficult work, heroic deeds, or doing what can't be done. Our military was given a job and they did it. Black, White, Man or Woman they got the job done, and always before the deadline. That's Americans for You.

@TipToeThroughThePrettyTulips 23 күн бұрын

Did you not read the story or see the movie? Mail was backlogged and stacked in plane hangers for over two years. Those who were in charge were failed in their duties and got more behind by the day. The job did NOT get done until the 6888 stepped in and were given 6 months to get the job done, even when it was assumed they were less intelligent and capable simply because they were Black women who could not get the job done. I don't hear anyone complain when the heroes are of a certain color, yet when we speak of Blacks as competent, suddenly it is a problem. Well, that's your problem, not ours.

History is ALWAYS important, particularly when uncovering the involvement and contributions of Black American men and women that have been overlooked by mainstream history education in public schools. However, I question of timing of this release. Now that the USA is bringing back the mandatory draft, and thinking of extending said draft to include women, could this movie also be a tool to encourage greater numbers of Black women to sign up for military service? I have nothing against a country seeking to defend its interests. But today's military service is often involved in destroying another country's right to exist on its own terms.

I just finished watching the movie that my mother recommended. I don't personally like watching these types of movies because it only infuriates me with how much hate they have for a person of color. The audacity of having blacks fight in a war for land that was stolen from their ancestors from people who enslaved them, destroyed the family, separated black fathers from the home and made it difficult to live a regular life of peace. For them to to think we are beneath them when in actuality when we do our somewhat best we outshine them in every category which causes them to hate us even more. This movie was excellent but it will not win an Oscar because it will show that there are still black folks alive who can still tell the truth about these white people and why their great grandchildren continue their legacy of hate of being jealous and envious of people of color

Correction: The 6888th were not an "all Black" woman Army Corp unit. They were women of color ( including Puerto Rican, Mexican, and Australian). More important than their skin color, they were able to exceed the expectations of a mission during WWII.
