Libby audiobook screenshot of the book the port Chicago 50 by steve sheinkin

It's #portchicago weekend
I'm shamed to say I had zero idea about any history

so I am reading #theportchicago50 #booksky

I went to an event with #outdoorafro and met the direct descendants of the Port Chicago 50 (almost all black women i note)

Damage at the Port Chicago Pier after the explosion of July 17, 1944. Naval Magazine, Port Chicago, California, damage resulting from the Port Chicago ammunition explosion disaster of July 17, 1944. From the source: "This view looks south from the Ship Pier, showing the wreckage of Building A-7 (Joiner Shop) at the right. There is a piece of twisted steel plating just to left of the long pole in left center."

Navy exonerates 256 Black sailors unjustly court-martialed in WWII-era Port Chicago explosion The U.S. Navy has exonerated 256 Black sailors who had been unjustly court-martialed following the World War II-era Port Chicago explosion that killed hundreds.
