Raleigh post office renamed to honor this ‘Six Triple Eight’ WWII veteran
The work of the all-Black, all-women battalion is featured in the Netflix movie “The Six Triple Eight,” written by Tyler Perry and starring Kerry Washington. Now, a Raleigh post office will bear Veasey’s name. U.S. Rep. Deborah Ross sponsored a bill to rename the post office at 2777 Brentwood Road in Raleigh to the “Millie Dunn Veasey Post Office.”
