This is a great story. That truly needs to be told on a grander scale.
I am disappointed however, that Mrs Baker had to endure such an unprofessional and callous intervier.
My thoughts exactly! Especially the man, who acted like he was questioning a suspect.
PFC Baker is a historical trail blazing hero. Her contribution may seem small in comparison to the war. But her courage and dignity will be and should honored and remembered. Thank you Ms. Baker, your country called, you answered. Let it be known her country may have turned their backs on her. But she never turned her back on her country.
This story needs to be told on a bigger scale like hello Steven Spielberg make this a movie please!!
Tyler Perry is making a Netflix movie now
This woman deserved much more than these ingenious interviewers…likeeee what??
God bless you ☺️ Thank You for your service, Ma'am 💕
THANK YOU
Thank for your service
those who have never served far away from home do not understand how important mail from home is......
Oprah, Tyler Perry, Spike Lee, or someone needs to make a movie about these courageous, female, African American Veterans who served proudly overseas yet suffered racial discrimination on their home soil.
From one veteran to another I apologize for the way you were treated by the interviewer.
Thank you & God Bless You WWII Veteran Elizabeth Bernice Barker Johnson.
Needs a good budget. I nominate Ava Duvernay.
AS A MATTER OF FACT TYLER PERRY IS DOING THIS AS OF NOW DATE HASN'T BEEN RELEASED YET
Tyler Perry has a movie he’s producing about the all black female batoone
Love the story of the 6888th. Hope to see a movie soon. I do not care for the female interviewer. Mrs. Johnson can speak for herself without being told what to say and how to say it.
The condescendingly disrespectful way some white female, obviously infected with their racist based false sense of privilege and entitlement toward this African American Veteran is disgusting.
She'd already answered the questions. Why not allow this VETERAN to respond to the questions in the manner she chooses?
You both should be ashamed!

@@solemandd67 The interviewer was her own daughter!
@mowomedia4801 are you serious?? disheartening
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE YOUR LEGACY WILL ALWAYS BE REMOVED, GOD BLESS YOU DEAR 🖤 💯 🙏 🪖🪖🪖🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
Thank You Ms Elizabeth Bernice Barker Johnson for your service to the world 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙌♥️ much love and blessings and respect 🙏🙌♥️
Thank you for your service, ma'am! You did your part and you needed lots of courage to do that back then, much respect for that. You were just as important to the war effort as everyone else who served in the armed forces in any function whatsoever. The collective effort is what delivered the final victory.
One of my mother's aunts was in this unit. We were from Massachusetts, and I think lots of these women enlisted at the base in MA.
Who is the lady telling her how to answer the questions§. REALLY. She can answer in her own way.
I agree. I feel she asked her repetitive questions.
They should indeed make a movie about the 688th, I like miltary history.
Their story should be told as not many people know about it.
It was just announced that the 6888th will receive the Congressional Gold Medal.
The questions asked regarding segregation in our own homeland or our own nation of the USA were appalling. Lesson learned from how the people in UK or France to the USA folks. Again Thank YOU very much Ms Elizabeth Bernice Barker Johnson for your heart of service 🙏🙌♥️ God bless you and the whole of The 6888 Central Post Battalion Members 🙏🙌♥️
The White interviewers are working my nerves. Like, they keep asking her the same questions, differently, as if they don't like her answers. Very poor interviewers. I am grateful to hear this woman share her story... I just wished they'd let her talk and share openly without all the redundancy!
The female interviewer needs to be quiet and let her answer however she wants to. I'm offended that she felt it necessary to tell her how to answer a question! These veterans are in their 90s. The ingenuity and courage they showed volunteering during a world war speaks volumes. She doesn't need a speech lesson from you- Show some RESPECT!!
She showed respect, but i wish a trained historian had interviewed her to really bring out the info in depth about everything she did. Interviewing is a real skill and and art. Sadly, i assume the lady is no longer around to answer questions.
Bless up ❤❤❤❤
Please write your story
What an amazing lady! I would love to hear her just tell her story as she wanted to, without prerequisite questions. I wish there was more from her and less of the questions!
I don’t know if the female interviewer was related to her or not (as another comment stated) but she came off as very condescending and disrespectful.
To all involved, thank you for sharing the story of the 6888th!
There is a documentary already. Support that first
I see the book that was published, but not a movie. What is it called? Can't "support" it if we don't know it exists.

Wow.

You better believe the English treated them well. They knew they would be part of Hitler's Germany without the USA involved. Being British, we owe a great debt to America, although there are still some in my generation that detest Americans because of their stupid English pride. Incidentally, the Scots and Welsh do not share this sentiment. Americans are most welcome there. The English were always the conquerors in the past, not the conquered. Plus, our women wanted American soldiers to marry them and take them back to the USA; British soldiers detested this.
The woman who is conducting the interview is horrible! 😡
I felt both interviewers struggled, with the female interviewer being better asking her questions...
