Retired U.S. Army Col. Edna Cummings tells the story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-female, all-Black unit that served during World War II, as part of the Freedom to Serve campaign launch at the Maj. Gen. Robert S. Beightler Armory in Columbus, Ohio, June 1, 2023. The Ohio National Guard screened a documentary about the 6888th during the event, the first of several scheduled through the end of July that celebrate the 75th anniversary of President Truman signing executive orders that directed the integration of the U.S. military and federal workforce, as well as the passage of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act.
