The Six Triple Eight is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Despite facing racism and sexism – and grueling working conditions – they were committed to serving their country with honor and distinction.

Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers.
