The Six Triple Eight Valiant Legacy - The True Story Of The All-Female 6888th Army Battalion During World War II

Elsie Lindsey

Summary

Imagine a cold, dimly lit warehouse in the heart of wartime Europe. Stacks of undelivered letters, 17 million strong, tower over 855 women in uniform. For these soldiers, failure isn’t an option. Their mission: restore hope to homesick troops by reuniting them with the letters and packages that remind them of what they’re fighting for. This is the untold story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—the Six Triple Eight.

Led by the trailblazing Major Charity Adams, these African American women shattered every expectation. Sorting mail in frigid conditions, battling racism and sexism from their own countrymen, and defying societal norms, they accomplished the impossible. Through grit, innovation, and an unbreakable sisterhood, they cleared backlogs in record time, saving morale across the frontlines. Yet, when they returned home, their triumphs were met with silence. No parades. No recognition. Only the enduring strength to forge ahead.

The True Story of the 6888th Battalion reveals the courage, determination, and sacrifices of these forgotten heroes. Through personal stories, vivid accounts, and the battalion’s long-overdue journey to recognition—including the 2022 Congressional Gold Medal—this book celebrates their groundbreaking contributions to the war effort and beyond. It’s a story of resilience that reminds us how ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things.

Dreyfus Affair and the Leo Frank...

Editors Charles River

In September 1890, among a pile of torn-up documents delivered by Mme. Bastian was found a note handwritten in French which, when pieced together, proved to be a list of French military secrets handed over to the Germans by an unknown French officer of the General Staff. This discovery, which proved the existence of a traitor in the department, triggered a ferment in the corridors of the Conseil Supérieur de la Guerre, and the hunt was on for the culprit. By a process of elimination, officers of the military intelligence were able to narrow down a list of probable traitors, among whom was a young Jewish staff officer, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, who was immediately earmarked as the chief suspect.  
	These are the essential facts of the “Dreyfus Affair,” as it came to be known, an episode that in many respects defined French anti-Semitism in the late 19th century. A case was built with the central objective of protecting the integrity of French military establishment, and in the process, the relatively muted anti-Semitism in France (at least compared to other European nations) was transformed into an era of virulent and violent Jew-hatred that characterized and sullied the final decade of the 19th century in France. Even today, as many of the affair’s nuances and facets have faded from memory, its political importance and anti-Semitic elements continue to be well-known and quite relevant today.  
In 1913, Mary Phagan, a young Georgia factory girl and the daughter of tenant farmers, was raped and killed, and suspicion fell upon Leo Frank, the Jewish-American factory manager, who was subsequently arrested, tried, and convicted of her murder based on the thinnest of circumstantial evidence. The entire case against Frank rested on the testimony of the factory janitor, Jim Conley, despite the fact Conley had been arrested almost immediately after Frank when he was spotted washing what appeared to be blood off his clothes.

Senility And the Brain Cells -...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Senility and the brain cells - 1 June 1980  
• Is the human brain deteriorating? 
• The human brain is not a particular brain, it doesn’t belong to me or to anyone 
else, it is the human brain which has evolved for millions of years. 
• Can the brain not only be aware of its own movement but can the brain itself 
have enough energy to break all patterns and move out of it? 
• Is psychological knowledge not in itself a factor of the shrinking of the brain? 
• The ending of suffering comes about when the self, which is built up through 
time, is no longer there. 
• If there is an insight into the nature of time the very brain cells which are part 
of time break down. The brain cells mutate, bring about a change in 
themselves. 
• Meditation is insight.
