NextUs818 Podcast Inaugural Episode: The 6888th

NextUs818 Podcast is a reflective platform for connecting past successes with future progress in the African-American community. There are many African-American heroes, some known and many unsung men and women, who helped build this country. Some were the first or only in their fields of endeavor. Yet little is known about how their unique journeys influenced the trajectory of their familial legacies…such as their children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews.  During each show, we will have conversations with descendants of African-American heroes. Our guests will share their family lore, values, traditions, what they learned from their ancestors and how that shaped the course of their lives. The Inaugural Series of the NextUS818 Podcast will feature the descendants of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the 6888th. The 6888th was the only all-female, all African American battalion to serve in the European Theatre during World War II. 855 women served in this battalion between 1943 and 1946. The 6888th was awarded the congressional gold medal in March 2022.  #SixTripleEight #6888th #blackwacs #HiddenHerStory #SixTripleEightTylerPerryStudios @TylerPerryStudios #6888musical Copyright ©2022 NextUs818 | All rights reserved | Contact: [email protected], P.O.
