Authorizing the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony to present the Congressional Gold Medals awarded under the 'Six Triple Eight' Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2021.

Key Points

• Congress is allowing a special ceremony to take place in the Capitol Visitor Center on April 29, 2025. This event will honor the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, also known as the Six Triple Eight.
• The Six Triple Eight was the only all-Black, all-female unit sent overseas during World War II. They were responsible for clearing a massive backlog of mail for millions of soldiers and workers in Europe.
• The women were previously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2021. This new action simply provides the space and permission needed to hold the official presentation ceremony in a historic part of the Capitol building.
