SUMMARY:A Soldier’s Life: A Black Woman’s Rise from Army Brat to Six Triple Eight Champion
DESCRIPTION:Join retired Army Colonel Edna W. Cummings to  converse on her  extraordinary personal journey in the US military and her triumphant effort to honor her predecessors with the Congressional Gold Medal in her new book\, A Soldier’s Life: A Black Woman’s Rise from Army Brat to Six Triple Eight Champion. This memoir  chronicles Cummings’s unlikely but successful path to leadership roles in the army and afterward\, tells the story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion\, known as the Six Triple Eight—a trailblazing African American World War II Women’s Army Corps unit now the subject of a Netflix film and a Broadway-bound musical—and the grassroots campaign Cummings led to honor them.  A book signing will take place after the talk.
