Rest in power, Anna Mae Robertson . . .
One of the last surviving members of the legendary Six Triple Eight battalion has passed away at 101. (June 1, 2025)
At just 19, Robertson joined the all-Black women’s unit during WWII, defying racism and sexism to complete a mission no one else could: sorting 17 million pieces of mail in three months to reconnect U.S. troops with their loved ones. She lived to see her unit awarded the Congressional Gold Medal this year, and she leaves behind a legacy of courage, service, and sisterhood that helped shape the story of Black women in America. May her memory be a blessing, and may her name never be forgotten.
