ABOUT THE PORT CHICAGO MEMORIAL

In July 1944, the largest mainland explosion of World War II jolted the Bay Area, instantly killing 320 sailors, the majority of whom were young African Americans. The subsequent refusal of fifty of the remaining sailors to resume loading munitions until their safety could be assured resulted in the most significant mutiny trial in our history. Their cause, supported by Eleanor Roosevelt and Thurgood Marshall, ultimately led to the desegregation of the Navy and later the entire military. A ceremony commemorating the explosion is held annually by the National Park Service.

The Friends of Port Chicago National Memorial exists to support the park, promote the history of and increase access to the Port Chicago Memorial. Please make a donation to support our efforts!
