Tyler Perry's upcoming Netflix movie will tell the true story of the 6888th battalion - the only all-Black, female battalion during World War II.
The official synopsis reads:"A herculean task, that most thought to be impossible, the women not only succeeded but did it in half the time they were given.
"Facing discrimination, unfamiliar land, and a war-torn country, they persevered and sorted over 17 million pieces of mail, reconnecting American soldiers with their families and loved ones back home. "The motto that kept them going each day was one they created themselves: 'No Mail, Low Morale.' The women of the 6888 weren’t just delivering mail, they were delivering hope."
The news comes after President Joe Biden signed the bill for the women to receive the Congressional Gold Medal, Congress' highest honour, earlier this year.
