Norman and a group of twenty-five college-educated women, who were engaged in various professions and businesses. They met at the Upper Manhattan Branch of the YMCA in New York City to lay the groundwork to establish a National Sorority of African American business and professional women.Lambda Kappa Mu established the Kopelles youth program in 1962 and according to its website it \"strives to build leadership skills in young women by promoting good citizenship, cultural enlightenement and academic achievement.\"","Florence K. Williamson-Norman, born in Macon County, Kentucky, attended public schools in the area. She attained her higher education at Howard University, Jennifer Business Institute, and the University of Hawaii. She taught at Fesseden School in Florida and also served as Dean of Students there. At the same time, she served as Secretary to Dr. Carter G. Woodson, President of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. ","\nDuring her early years, she saw the plight of Kentucky sharecroppers. This experience of seeing their struggles moved her to assume responsibility for two girls of sharecropper families. This commitment illustrated her efforts to improve life for all African American women. As part of these efforts, she established the Washington Business Institute (Washington, D.C.) for African American girls at a time when the United States provided little support for educating African Americans, least of all for girls. She also founded the Flushing (Queens) Citizen's Association in the neighborhood where she lived at the time. This group helped families living in the neighborhood to work together to improve their lives.","Source:\nLambda Kappa Mu Sorority history on their website.

Coleman enlisted in the Army at age twenty-three on January 1, 1943,began active service in September 1943. She was trained in Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and moved around the country to Fort Devens, Massachusetts, and Camp Sibert, Alabama, before heading overseas in 1945 and becoming one of the 855 women in the Triple Six Eight.","\nMadeleine Coleman was originally from a farm in Milstead, Alabama but was sent to New York by one of her aunts from South Carolina, who moved to Harlem. Prior to enlisting, she met John Roach, in the late 1930s at the Harlem Evening High School. He signed up for the armed services, as a Technical Sargent and stenographer in the 67th regiment stationed in England and France. She decided to sign up as well.  While Madeleine had an active social life in the Service Club and dated a lot, she knew that he would be the one man for her. They were married in Rouen, France in 1945 after the mail was cleared and she had sailed on the [RMS] Queens Elizabeth to Le Havre France where the 6888 cleared up more backlogs of mail.","\nThe 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion was tasked with catching up a two-year backlog of 17 million pieces of mail, which left people in the military with low morale. The battalion consisted of stenographers, postal clerks and others who tracked, redirected and investigated mail in cold, dark and rat-infested warehouses with a six-month deadline. They encountered both racism and sexism from fellow American service members, according to multiple historical reports. However they created a mailing system and completed the task in half the time.","\nHer journey began on the SS Ile de France where there were air raids.\nAccording to historical accounts, the women felt hoodwinked when they initially joined up to serve their country only to be tasked with manual labor.","Once civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune got the support of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, the women were shipped off on February 3, 1945 and took a train to Birmingham, England, where they fixed the dilapidated former King Edward's School, which became their base, as seen in \"The Six Triple Eight\" war drama directed by Tyler Perry and streamed on Netflix.","Madeleine Coleman Roach became a secretary at the Woodrow Wilson Vocational School, which is called August Martin High School, and John Roach was employed at the Post office. Madeleine Roach also graduated with honors as an African-American Studies major in the early 1980s at York College.","Source:\nRose, Naeisha. \"Remembering a 6888 Veteran\". Queens Chronicle.

","Of historical significance, Coleman was among the 855 Black women who served overseas in the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion in England and France who were hired to clear up the backlog of mail to the World War II soldiers and officers. ","Coleman was from New York City and enlisted in the Army at age twenty-three on January 1, 1943. She entered active service in September 1943 and was promoted to Corporal.

She writes about her exhaustion from overworking, her anxieties about army inspections,her private thoughts on the harsh treatment of Black women in the Corps, most especially during her time in Alabama.

Coleman enlisted in the Army at age twenty-three on January 1, 1943,began active service in September 1943. She was trained in Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and moved around the country to Fort Devens, Massachusetts, and Camp Sibert, Alabama, before heading overseas in 1945 and becoming one of the 855 women in the Triple Six Eight.","\nMadeleine Coleman was originally from a farm in Milstead, Alabama but was sent to New York by one of her aunts from South Carolina, who moved to Harlem. Prior to enlisting, she met John Roach, in the late 1930s at the Harlem Evening High School. He signed up for the armed services, as a Technical Sargent and stenographer in the 67th regiment stationed in England and France. She decided to sign up as well.  While Madeleine had an active social life in the Service Club and dated a lot, she knew that he would be the one man for her. They were married in Rouen, France in 1945 after the mail was cleared and she had sailed on the [RMS] Queens Elizabeth to Le Havre France where the 6888 cleared up more backlogs of mail.","\nThe 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion was tasked with catching up a two-year backlog of 17 million pieces of mail, which left people in the military with low morale. The battalion consisted of stenographers, postal clerks and others who tracked, redirected and investigated mail in cold, dark and rat-infested warehouses with a six-month deadline. They encountered both racism and sexism from fellow American service members, according to multiple historical reports.
