Sweet Georgia Brown: Impact, Courage, Sacrifice, and Will by Lawrence E. Walker

December 15, 2024

This one-hour-and-a-half documentary is our second documentary focusing on African-American Women during World War II. The purpose of this documentary, Sweet Georgia Brown: Impact, Courage, Sacrifice, and Will is to examine the consequences or changes in race and gender policies for the status of African-American Women in the military during World War II. During this era, opportunities for women in the military expanded, such as; what social, political, and organizational factors influenced change in racial and gender policies in the military during World War II; what were the unique factors associated with being African-American Women in the Armed Services at that time and how did this experience affect their lives. I am deeply indebted to the former members of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion for their willingness to be interviewed and for the study of Brenda L. Moore, and Major Charity E. Adams’s books. I am sincerely grateful to Gladys Carter, Mary Copeland, Estelle Terry, Janice Taylor, Queen Esther Woods, and Martha Putney for all of the contributions they made, to be filmed in the first documentary. They were generous with their time and in some cases shared their treasured scrapbooks containing photographs, official military documents with raised seals, and written memoirs – Lawrence E. Walker.
