Charity Adams was the first Black officer in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (later known as the Women’s Army Corps) in World War II and led the first predominately Black WAC unit to serve overseas. Like many WAACs who volunteered to serve after the attack on Pearl Harbor, she was motivated by her patriotism, ambition and sense of adventure. (courtesy photo)
