Tonya Abari, illustrated by Lance Evans
During World War II, millions of letters and packages for U.S. troops sat undelivered in warehouses. The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, made up of Black women who had pressed for the right to enlist, received the task of sorting and sending that mail. This account follows the battalion as it took on the difficult backlog and its wartime work.
