    If you haven't watched the movie 'The Six Triple Eight' on Netflix, do yourself a favor & watch it. It's a true story about the horrific treatment of Black women during WWII. Fort Lee in VA, now Fort Gregg-Adams, is named for this Black female officer. I'll admit that I cried from beginning to end.

    The Six Triple Eight is the best movie I have ever seen. About an all black WOMENS Battalion that were sent to Europe to make sure mail was delivered to the soldiers and their loved ones during World War 11 ! Amazing woman overcome the bigots to raise the moral of the troops fighting the Nazis.

    The Six Triple Eight movie is about an All-black-women battalion who was sent in to save the humongous back log of mail during WW2. They made sure the soldiers fighting the facists got their mail. This modern day fascist government just goes - burn the mail.

    My mother insists that I watch the Oscars with her so she can ask "Who everyone is." Her opinion is that she didn't see "ANORA" but it sounds like a good idea for a movie and she'll probably watch it. She also wanted "THE SIX TRIPLE EIGHT" to be nominated for more things. She loved "CONCLAVE."

    Kerry Washington’s work here deserves to be immortalized, her portrayal is a deep human truth that resonates long after the credits roll. The Six Triple Eight is Oscar-worthy, a defining film of our time, and a legacy piece that stands as a monumental Tyler Perry’s career.

    This was an excellent movie In 1945, the 6888th, an all-Black, all-female Army unit, made history by clearing a massive mail backlog to support troops during WWII. Their story remained largely untold for decades—until Tyler Perry brought it to life for The Six Triple Eight, now streaming on Netflix

    Just finished watching #TheSixTripleEight and Y'ALL Granted, I am well known for crying at movies. But DAMN I started during the opening scene, and the end credits just finished rolling and I haven't stopped yet. The 688th was the only all-Black battalion of the US Women's Army Corps sent to Europe during WWII. In Birmingham, England, they were given 6 months to deliver 17 million pieces of backlogged mail to soldiers at the front. They did it in less than 90 days. 1/2
