On August 9th, 244 men refused to go back to work until unsafe and unfair conditions at the docks were addressed. When the dust settled, fifty were charged with mutiny, facing decades in jail and even execution. This is a fascinating story of the prejudice that faced black men and women in America's armed forces during World War II, and a nuanced look at those who gave their lives in service of a country where they lacked the most basic rights. 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Participation, African American. 650 0 $a Port Chicago Mutiny, Port Chicago, Calif., 1944. 650 0 $a Port Chicago Mutiny Trial, San Francisco, Calif., 1944. 650 0 $a African American sailors $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Hoffman, Dominic. 941 $a 1 945 $a cda 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20150408011005.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A12CBDC4DDB411E48328BAE0DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b LX#Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
