DID YOU KNOW?

In the summer of 1944, a massive explosion at the Port Chicago Navy base in San Francisco, California, killed 320 servicemen and wounded hundreds of others, many of whom were African American. This disaster turned into the largest mutiny trial in American Naval history when 258 African American sailors refused to return to work until safety procedures and training could be addressed. Come to the library to learn more about the “Port Chicago 50” and other African Americans in times of war as we celebrate Black History Month. (W 2.14) – C. Milloway
