This was the only Women's Army Corps unit of color to be stationed in Europe during World War 2 .

Washington plays Charity Adams , the highest ranking black female officer during the war.

There were 855 black women, women of color who served in World War 2 and no one knew it and went overseas to represent this country.

Perry Washington and Ebony Obsidian were in Virginia visiting with service members at Joint Base Meyer Henderson Hall .

A lot of family members didn't even know that their grandparents or moms or had served in 6888 .

There was no heat, no lights, rats running around, and they still did it and got it done.

There's a star-studded cast, including Susan Sarandon , Dean Norris and Oprah .

Oprah 's in it, too. She has a very small role, playing Mary McLeod Bethune .
