On this episode, Marquita chats with author Tonya Abari about her latest publication, a picture book titled "The Six Triple Eight: A True Story of the Black Woman Battalion of World War II."
Tonya not only created a picture book about The Six Triple Eight's legacy, she is also involved in retired Army Master Sergeant Elizabeth Helm-Frazier's letter writer campaign to get 10,000 letters to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee to recommend, and the U.S. Postal Service to issue, a Forever Stamp honoring the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—an enduring tribute to their service, sacrifice, and trailblazing legacy.
