I watched this movie. I must say. No less than Oscars for the 3 leading actresses. My most emotional moment in that movie was the standing ovation after the General's inspection... Hats off to these ladies... from TRINIDAD and TOBAGO.
It was an honor portraying one of these amazing women in the 6888!! As a background 6888 soldier I was often reflective and humbled on set by the POWER in our MARCHING! 😭 every time we marched you could feel the strength and power in moving as one. Ms Debbie Allen was an amazing and patient teacher and I am forever grateful to Tyler for allowing us to tell their story 🫡❤️
@GKAministries, I have to admit watching "The African-American Women's Army Corp" doing the marching routine did remind me of my boot camp training in preparation for the graduation ceremony at Recruit Training Command/ Naval Training Command that once existed in San Diego, California.
Congratulations. What an amazing experience to treasure forever.💐✨️ Edit : Just watched. Something about that marching sequence...🤷🏾♀️. I don't have the words. It was so powerful, if that makes sense. It elicited the same response as the actual footage in the credits. Both conveyed so much without saying a word. Well done Sisters! Well done.🏆✨️💕
I just watched you ladies on the Jennifer Hudson show. You all did an amazing job with this wonderful project. Great movie about history we should all know. 🙌🏾🫶🏾👏🏾
Amen my brother 😢. I cried at least 3 times watching this very inspirational, historical and reflective movie. I feel I can watch it a 2nd time, which I rarely ever do!
I often cry by my own, just thinking what our people suffered for centuries. I pray that their souls are peaceful. Thanks God the next generations are always in the joy of life even is better but not completely.
That movie was SO GOOD. I'm going to watch it again and told my family member that its a must watch. Like a "Hidden Figures." The history that we should know but was not told.
I was thinking the same thing! It's something that we should have known about. However just like Hidden Figures did for us, so will this film! Black History IS AMERICAN HISTORY! And we all need to remember and celebrate that fact! GOD BLESS you all! Thank you!
@@michellec5407Oh how I'd wished that Tyler or some Production Company would pickup the History Lesson and story of the 1st Black military nurse and the other 💯 black nurses that were stationed on duty at Fort Huachuca. Fort Huachuca was one of two locations chosen to create an all-Black hospital for Black troops. Despite discrimination, these women like those of 6 triple 8 made significant contributions serving during World War II.
@@alexcher4606 I believe the joke is on you not having an open mind to invest in doing the homework or research about how things were for African-Americans during those racially charged times during the 1940s. Despite the fact that both men and women were fighting for a country that refused to show them respect during that era in time.
@noelbrooks5678, I believe that will be left up to the selection committee when the nominations are announced in January. Unfortunately, I didn't see Kerry Washington nominated for a Golden Globe Award that kind of indicates what's in store for an actor/actress during the upcoming awards season in the entertainment industry.
The whole film literally reminds me a bit of Hidden Figures and how powerful that film was. Kerry Washington definitely should get a oscar nomination. The whole film deserves oscar recognition honestly. Job well done ladies!!
AND THIS IS WHY THEY DON’T WANT #BLACKHISTORY TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THIS IS ALSO WHY IT IS SO VERY IMPORTANT FOR BLACK COMMUNITIES TO TEACH BLACK HISTORY. WELL DONE #TYLERPERRY!!! WELL DONE CAST!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💜💜💜💜💜😻😻😻😻😻
I just watched this film less than 24 hours ago, and it was absolutely phenomenal. Huge kudos to Netflix and the incredible women involved for shining a light on Black African-American women in the military-women who are often overlooked and in the background. As someone who serves in the military, this movie really hit home for me. I found myself in tears by the end; it was so touching. I also have to say, I love Kerry Washington! And being from the Bronx myself - yay, go Bronx!
@Diverdug2, the movie was released on Netflix back on 20 December 2024. It's up to you when you decide to view the film for yourself on the streaming service in the household.
@Queenconsciousness311 I can identify with you from a man's perspective being a retired United States Navy Submarine Fleet sailor. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to serve with women onboard those sharks of steel. I read in "The Navy Times" that women didn't serve onboard until 2012. I had been retired for several years. Although I'm sure they are handling their job rates just like the men on a deployment at sea. It was Tyler Perry decision to pick Kerry Washington for the lead role of Officer Charity Adams in the movie. I was quite surprised by Ebony Obsidian being cast to play the character who falls in love with a Caucasian man that was forbidden by law, who plays the character of Karen Moss on Tyler Perry television drama "Sistas" over the years.
I laughed, smiled and cried watching this movie. Thank you ladies for portraying these amazing veterans that sacrificed so much of themselves. Thank you to the amazing director Tyler Perry for continuing telling our stories. I will never cease to support anything he does.
As a 20 year Army veteran, I salute my 855 fellow soldiers for their hard work, dedication to the mission and their intellect in finding the correct procedure to process the mail. We (soldiers) are perfectly aware how important mail is to our morale, especially when we're in a foreign land. I salute the 6888 bn...
Please share her name as my geneaology group is ensuring to create a page that connects her relatives together. It may done already and if so we'll send it to you. If not, we'll get it created. Thank you
U.S. Navy veteran here thank you. just got done watching this film. thank you for telling this story. As a white male veteran I am very proud to call them my sisters in arms.
I learned about this amazing story in college (HBCU) in the 1980’s. I was super happy to watch it on opening day. BRAVO Tyler Perry and staff who shared this historic event with the world. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I cried throughout Tyler Perry's/Netflix's "The Six Triple Eight." This MASTERPIECE is OUTSTANDING! This will be a film that will keep on giving for generations to come. We will see adaptations in the theater and other genres. Kerry Washington deserves an OSCAR for her performance here. I'm always humbled, astounded and impacted by the strength, resilience, brilliance, achievements, dutifulness, perseverance, commitment, dedication, devotion and diligence of our African American ancestors. What a respectful, angelic and BEAUTIFUL tribute to them by Tyler Perry in "The Six Triple Eight." WELL DONE. ❤️ Despite the evil, lies, tricks, sabotage, torment, torture, racism, harassment, nastiness and disrespect of yt supremacists/yt terrorists-the oppressors-our ancestors continued on their missions, journeys and assignments. They survived degradation and denigration. They worked hard and laser-focused to chart a path for their/our success. They always managed to exceed the goal posts, although they weren't made privy to them. They continued to fight for justice, fairness and humanity, although they didn't see, feel, or experience these things. And, THEN, there’s US... To this day, we continue to walk in their footsteps; channeling their brilliance. We continue to tread in their blood, hard work and successes as we strive and work to form a more perfect Union. We continue to fight the evils of racism, while at the same time, pushing forward. I'm SO VERY PROUD to be BLACK! THANK YOU! ❤️
I was lucky enough to meet Kerry Washington during her book signing and conversation in England, and she radiated so much kindness and love for every single person who was in that room❤️💫.
I knew NOTHING of this story, but I cried like a baby. This was such a touching, love story to the tenacity of indigenous women and how we can weather all kinds of storms and still RISE like the Phoenix that we are. ❤
I just finished the movie last night and MAY I SAY, KERRY AND ALL THE WOMEN were excellent. I must say, I did cry. It was the most powerful and riveting movie I have seen in years. It took you back to a time when segregation and racism at its highest was MASTERFULLY portrayed. How Captain Charity Adam’s stood up to her General. It was a wonderfully directed, developed film and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching it today. You will not be disappointed. 😊😊😊
Admittedly, I stayed up until midnight in 12/09 just to watch this movie!! One of the best parts, of many, was when the women arrived by boat and the expectation was that they wouldn’t be able to march, BUT THEY DID, and perfectly. I cried, at that moment I felt such pride as the ladies steps matched the ones that had been silenced. But we need to tell our stories, there was nothing to be ashamed of, their kids should have been telling what their Grandmother did. Beautiful movie ladies, salute!!
Shout out to Tyler Perry for doing on this. This might just be his best project yet. And shout out to the lovely ladies for creating this the way they did. Love it
This movie is the absolute best!! I was crying through the entire picture. So many emotions because it was based on truth!! Those women were strong, courageous and smart. They were filled with so much pride and willing to fight for a country that totally disrespected them!! Typical of America!! My ancestors are the best!! I stand on some strong shoulders. So grateful for Tyler Perry doing this movie and doing it in such a beautifully and informed way! Lena played by Ebony Osidian was awesome! Kerry Washington playing Lieutenant Charity Adams Earley was phenomenal!! All the women in this movie played their role with great honor and integrity!! I had to play the ending repeatedly. Don't want to give it away so I won't say why but I was clapping and crying!! Great movie!! Thank you Tyler Perry, thank you Netflix, thank you the cast of great actresses and most importantly THANK YOU the women of THE SIX TRIPLE EIGHT!! SALUTE!!
Sooooooooooooooooo proud of the ladies, of both the actors and the soldiers who made this incredible history, from South Africa with pride. Big ups to Tyler. Thank you brother.
United States government was represented phenomenally throughout many moments. I am honored to have seen this film. Very emotional very courageous very talented and very true to nature. We at USPS deal with it all. And this film has brung out a piece of us as well. Thank you 🙏🏽
THIIIS WAS THA MOST BEAUUUTIFULL BLACK AMERICAN GIRL MOMENT😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤J.HUD U THA BEST4THIS SHOW. I AM TOUCHED& IN AWE. YALL ARE ALLLL SO PRETTY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉AND GREAT ACTRESSES. CONGRATULATIONS ❤🎉ONYOUR STAR2 KERRY! ILOVVVE U.
I am a history buff and a true crime buff and was looking up one of the "babes of inglewood " that was buried there and the first person to pop up was one of the 6888 her name was Annie Reed. Low and behold they made a movie about them a year later. I was embarrassed as a history buff and a black history buff of my people that i didn't know the story. Thanks to the internet there are so many black stories that we are finding out like Bass Reeves,Nathaniel Alexander (founder of the folding chair,learned from the Alabama brawl), and so many more
Dont be embarrassed. If I wasnt in the military, i wouldnt have known either. They are big on history in the military, so i’m thankful to have learned about them before this movie. But this whole story that was shown…. Priceless!
@ShaynieB yes ,thank you for your service and I hope that you have found many stories. I been having so many coincidences lately. I was looking up who was buried in the Santa. Monica cemetery and came across Sally ride and I thought she was an ASTRONAUT and in by lax they have a Hollywood walk of fame for aviators,ASTRONAUTs,etc and there she was and of course I was looking for Bessie Coleman and there she was and I forget her Chicago connection and it is that she is buried in the Chicago cemetery
This is so special. What an amazing view of sisterhood and craft excellence. God bless them individually and collectively as well the vision and artistry of Tyler Perry and Debbie Allen
Points to JHud for this interview. She asked the right questions but stepped back so the actors could talk. The next steps is to see the stories of the Black women and men from the African nations and the Caribbean who served in WWII and WWI. The BBC has done docs about some of them. My grandmother, from what was then British Guiana, served as a nurse in England during WWII.
Four generations of women in my family; grandmorher, daughter, granddaughter, and great granddaughter watched this movie togather Christmas night. We are so proud of the women who protrayed these more than remarkable women of the 6888. We have been given a beautiful gift. ❤
855 women, only two survivors, and the story is just only coming out because of Tyler Perry. GOD is good but I wish the story was done when half were alive so they can see the recognition that they changed the world.
@QueenNaestar I believe those who have passed on still have a link to the earth. I honestly believe those women who have passed on have seen this film.
This film about these incredible woman was powerful and just so beautiful. These women actors, incredible and amazing. I have seen the film three times now and will watch again and again. Yes, as Kerry said, "corrective history" and it is finally being told. Make sure every body in Florida sees this film!!! God bless you all and Tyler Perry! We need more of this! Peace and love
I just see tears rolling down my cheeks as a South African…it resonates well with me on the History that was melted for us not to know who we are..🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I became so emotional my heart was filled with joy to be educated once again about a piece of our history we had never known. Please we need to know more and please do more movies like this because inquire minds need to know thank you Tyler Perry and cast and all who contributed to this work of art.
Thank you, Ms. Hudson for sharing your interview with the ladies from "6888". Yes, I cried during the movie and the interview. It is so sad the number of untold stories of our ancestors. It is even more sad that the 855 women of the 6888 Ballalion could not share their own stories with family. Thank you, ladies, for bringing this story to the forefront. I loved it!!!
Thank you Tyler Perry for bringing this movie to the masses for all races. I absolutely loved the movie! Learning about the history and learning of the women who did such an exceptional job to solve the mail dilemma for the soldiers deserved a Medal of Honor for All. It was such beautiful story of truth. Thank you and I salute the Actors for bringing it to life in the way that you did 👏. I must say that I apologize for the way the Caucasian soldiers disrespected these Women of Color. It broke my heart and brought tears as well. So so wrong and still it goes on in today’s times which disappoints God Himself. We are all His Children.
I watched this film a few days ago. It was spectacular!!! I never knew the story of those amazing women. Everyone, should watch this historical film. Tyler Perry has outdone himself!!! Kudos to him!!!
I have to ask for forgiveness. This link popped up, and at first I dismissed it. I don't watch TV and I am not exposed to a lot of media, so initially I saw a lot of black women "all diva'd out" and looking really pretentious. I judged too quickly. But then I listened, and that is why I have to ask for forgiveness. I hear Jennifer sharing the spotlight with many beautiful and talented black women, and everyone sharing the spotlight with each other and the women they portayed in the movie, which I had not heard about. As was mentioned, this story was hidden, so thank you for sharing it and bringing it to the light. You all seem so talented and gifted and it is a blessing to see black women supporting each other rather than being in competition with each other. I believe each one of us is here to fullfill a purpose, and when we are on that journey, we are unstoppable! God bless you and your journey!
A movie hasn’t made me cry in a very long time, this movie was very powerful and I shed some tears. Very shameful what we did, I feel horrible for our history. I’m very blessed that this world is slowly becoming a better place!
I am watching it again today, Sunday!! Loved it & sharing it with my grandchildren. I am 68 y.o & had no knowledge of this phenomenal group of Black women in history. Thank you to each of them. Their spirit shines bright.
I cried so much watching this movie. I have such pride and love and admiration for the women who endured and succeeded in the work for our country. I’m grateful that the stories are getting out and I embrace the amazing actresses who put their all into giving us a representation of what the actual women did for us and continue through their legacy. ❤❤
Ms Washington you did that thang...I watched the movie yesterday with my granddaughter she and I loved it. From the beginning to the end. Tyler Perry hats off for a job well done.
This was truly a beautiful watch. I watched it less than 12 hours ago and the ladies told this story so wonderfully ❤ I’m so happy that Tyler Perry unlocked the story of the 6888. Also, Kerry Washington seems like a joy to work with. All of her cast members from Scandal and beyond routinely reflect how encouraging, mentoring and kind she is to work with
I love that Kerry Washington is making sure the other ladies get an opportunity to speak.
Kerry is "Mama Bear" to these ladies.
She is the truth! A woman of honor, class and integrity by far...
Kerry is one of my favorite. Such poise and class. She never disappoint.
This is the best Tyler Perry production ever!!!
EVER!! ❤ This needs an Oscar for real
I watched this movie. I must say. No less than Oscars for the 3 leading actresses. My most emotional moment in that movie was the standing ovation after the General's inspection... Hats off to these ladies... from TRINIDAD and TOBAGO.
It absolutely was! Hands down!
@@eustacebedeau1079mine was the salute they got at the end… whew!!!!!

Why am I not surprised that Debbie Allen choreograph the March. No wonder it was done in absolute perfect formation.
Absolute perfection so proud 😊
It was perfection ❤
I'm a black man and I'm still crying and emotional about this movie ... Deep
You think you were crying. I was so proud of this movie. 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻
Amen my brother 😢. I cried at least 3 times watching this very inspirational, historical and reflective movie. I feel I can watch it a 2nd time, which I rarely ever do!
I often cry by my own, just thinking what our people suffered for centuries. I pray that their souls are peaceful. Thanks God the next generations are always in the joy of life even is better but not completely.
heard this movie was kinda crap and not close to a true story at all.
@dicedoom7162
WELL IT WASNT TRASH! I SAW THE DOCUMENTARY AND IT WAS TRUE TO THE MILITARY RECORDS!
Sometimes Tyler Perry swings and misses but when he hits it, he hits right. Kudos Mr TP
I definitely agree
I agree😊
That movie was SO GOOD. I'm going to watch it again and told my family member that its a must watch. Like a "Hidden Figures." The history that we should know but was not told.
I was thinking the same thing! It's something that we should have known about. However just like Hidden Figures did for us, so will this film! Black History IS AMERICAN HISTORY! And we all need to remember and celebrate that fact!

"heroic" office workers is all they came out with? what a joke

But they just sorted some letters!🤷♂️
@@ShaynieBTrue, But the world knows how intelligent we are.
Watching them march, I cried for my ancestors . It was such a powerful moment, and I felt so honored to be a strong black woman.
And the look on Kerry’s face… THAT pride ! Was everything and made me cry
As I'm researching the 6 triple 8, everyone mentions their marching, carriage pride in how they presented themselves.
That was such a goosebumps & tears moment!! The way she commanded the battalion and the march! It was beautiful!!
They got the job done . They prove them
Wrong . 👊🏾👊🏾💪💪

I just finished the movie last night and MAY I SAY, KERRY AND ALL THE WOMEN were excellent. I must say, I did cry. It was the most powerful and riveting movie I have seen in years. It took you back to a time when segregation and racism at its highest was MASTERFULLY portrayed. How Captain Charity Adam’s stood up to her General. It was a wonderfully directed, developed film and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching it today. You will not be disappointed. 😊😊😊

I remember that. Had no idea she was part of the battalion. Thats beautiful
I loved the song I remember
We need to become prideful again. We have to educate our people.
Shout out to Tyler Perry for doing on this. This might just be his best project yet. And shout out to the lovely ladies for creating this the way they did. Love it
They all look beautiful but Kerri looks so vibrant and healthy!
This is the very best I've ever seen her look, she's glowing!! she looks gorgeous with a bit of weight on her. She looked great as Charity Adams!!!

Dont be embarrassed. If I wasnt in the military, i wouldnt have known either. They are big on history in the military, so i’m thankful to have learned about them before this movie. But this whole story that was shown…. Priceless!
@ShaynieB yes ,thank you for your service and I hope that you have found many stories. I been having so many coincidences lately. I was looking up who was buried in the Santa. Monica cemetery and came across Sally ride and I thought she was an ASTRONAUT and in by lax they have a Hollywood walk of fame for aviators,ASTRONAUTs,etc and there she was and of course I was looking for Bessie Coleman and there she was and I forget her Chicago connection and it is that she is buried in the Chicago cemetery
I loved the movie. These ladies did a tremendous job and I honor the women of the 6888!
The Greatest Generation our Ancestors
This is so special. What an amazing view of sisterhood and craft excellence. God bless them individually and collectively as well the vision and artistry of Tyler Perry and Debbie Allen
The ladies are so beautiful ❤❤❤
I'm in love with all this black woman love!
Points to JHud for this interview. She asked the right questions but stepped back so the actors could talk.
The next steps is to see the stories of the Black women and men from the African nations and the Caribbean who served in WWII and WWI. The BBC has done docs about some of them. My grandmother, from what was then British Guiana, served as a nurse in England during WWII.
Thank you black strong women
Four generations of women in my family; grandmorher, daughter, granddaughter, and great granddaughter watched this movie togather Christmas night. We are so proud
of the women who protrayed these more than remarkable women of the 6888. We
have been given a beautiful gift. ❤
855 women, only two survivors, and the story is just only coming out because of Tyler Perry. GOD is good but I wish the story was done when half were alive so they can see the recognition that they changed the world.
You should not be surprised how this country has hidden these stories of color and why white america is so hell bent on being against woke!
@QueenNaestar I believe those who have passed on still have a link to the earth. I honestly believe those women who have passed on have seen this film.
no worries I'm sure they're looking down smiling🙌🏿😇

There is another living in Michigan. She is 102!!!
This is one of the best films ever.
Such a good film! Thanks to Tyler Perry for honoring and informing us all about the 6 triple eight.
This film about these incredible woman was powerful and just so beautiful. These women actors, incredible and amazing. I have seen the film three times now and will watch again and again. Yes, as Kerry said, "corrective history" and it is finally being told. Make sure every body in Florida sees this film!!! God bless you all and Tyler Perry! We need more of this! Peace and love
I just finished watching this movie and was so glad to see so many new faces! All of you did your thing 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I love, love this movie..
I'm a day dreamer, I'm 65yrs old & still dreaming...please do more of these films. Cudo to all of you..
I’ve never heard of the 6888th until I watched this movie! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Excellent movie! Remarkable women and unsung.thank you Tyler Perry for bringing to light
Watching that reminds me that we still have work to do.
Thats A True Blessing (Prieless)
Just stunning👏🏽💪🏽🙌🏽🖤Thank you ladies for doing such an amazing job in bringing this buried black history to life!! Thank Tyler Perry!!!
YALL DID YALL THING!!!
I just see tears rolling down my cheeks as a South African…it resonates well with me on the History that was melted for us not to know who we are..🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
My great grandfather was a soldier in that war and watching this film gave me chills.
This is such testimony to Grand-daughter & Grand-son.
Why could I not stop crying. Wow! Welldone ladies for lifting each other up in light.
Absolutely honoured to have watched this movie💯🙏🙌💪🥰❤️
Such an Great movie..I never even heard of the 6 triple eight..I give a two thumbs Up❤❤
A powerful docu. Cried a river. KUDOS to Tyler Perry for telling this story. Again "Hidden History"
I became so emotional my heart was filled with joy to be educated once again about a piece of our history we had never known. Please we need to know more and please do more movies like this because inquire minds need to know thank you Tyler Perry and cast and all who contributed to this work of art.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this amazing movie !!!❤ JOB WELL DONE ladies🤩🤩🤩🙏🏽🙌🏽
Thank you, Ms. Hudson for sharing your interview with the ladies from "6888". Yes, I cried during the movie and the interview. It is so sad the number of untold stories of our ancestors. It is even more sad that the 855 women of the 6888 Ballalion could not share their own stories with family. Thank you, ladies, for bringing this story to the forefront. I loved it!!!
I love this movie. I didn’t know this history. I applauded and cried.
This interview was awesome! The movie was awesome. Black women are just AWESOME!!! ❤
Thank you Tyler Perry for bringing this movie to the masses for all races. I absolutely loved the movie!
Learning about the history and learning of the women who did such an exceptional job to solve the mail dilemma for the soldiers deserved a Medal of Honor for All. It was such beautiful story of truth. Thank you and I salute the Actors for bringing it to life in the way that you did 👏. I must say that I apologize for the way the Caucasian soldiers disrespected these Women of Color. It broke my heart and brought tears as well. So so wrong and still it goes on in today’s times which disappoints God Himself. We are all His Children.
It was excellent and I, too, cried!!
I watched this film a few days ago. It was spectacular!!! I never knew the story of those amazing women. Everyone, should watch this historical film. Tyler Perry has outdone himself!!! Kudos to him!!!
I have to ask for forgiveness. This link popped up, and at first I dismissed it. I don't watch TV and I am not exposed to a lot of media, so initially I saw a lot of black women "all diva'd out" and looking really pretentious. I judged too quickly. But then I listened, and that is why I have to ask for forgiveness. I hear Jennifer sharing the spotlight with many beautiful and talented black women, and everyone sharing the spotlight with each other and the women they portayed in the movie, which I had not heard about. As was mentioned, this story was hidden, so thank you for sharing it and bringing it to the light. You all seem so talented and gifted and it is a blessing to see black women supporting each other rather than being in competition with each other. I believe each one of us is here to fullfill a purpose, and when we are on that journey, we are unstoppable! God bless you and your journey!
I can’t wait to watch it 🥰
I pray these ladies will get the opportunity to work together again! Awesome performances.💜
A movie hasn’t made me cry in a very long time, this movie was very powerful and I shed some tears. Very shameful what we did, I feel horrible for our history. I’m very blessed that this world is slowly becoming a better place!
I saw this movie twice!!! It was the phenomenal!!!
I am watching it again today, Sunday!!
Loved it & sharing it with my grandchildren.
I am 68 y.o & had no knowledge of this phenomenal group of Black women in history.
Thank you to each of them. Their spirit shines bright.
This will be my third time, and looking for a fourth time after these football games goes off.
I cried so much watching this movie. I have such pride and love and admiration for the women who endured and succeeded in the work for our country. I’m grateful that the stories are getting out and I embrace the amazing actresses who put their all into giving us a representation of what the actual women did for us and continue through their legacy. ❤❤
Important Foundational Black American movie, made me cry, loved it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 BRAVO LADIES
I loved this film so much
My blessed ancestors .🙏 ❤️ THANK YOU ALL....Thanks for making this movie Mr. Perry.💯✊️
This was an amazing film. I watched it twice already. ❤
Wow this was a great movie!!!! I LOVED IT! Glad to find out wonderful things about the people of our nation!!!!
Loved this movie and now the moment of watching this. These women are top tier gorgeous!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Ms Washington you did that thang...I watched the movie yesterday with my granddaughter she and I loved it. From the beginning to the end. Tyler Perry hats off for a job well done.
This was truly a beautiful watch. I watched it less than 12 hours ago and the ladies told this story so wonderfully ❤ I’m so happy that Tyler Perry unlocked the story of the 6888. Also, Kerry Washington seems like a joy to work with. All of her cast members from Scandal and beyond routinely reflect how encouraging, mentoring and kind she is to work with
