202 of the people who died in Port Chicago explosiion were Black.There were only Back men loading explosives in a segregated Navy. Many refused to return to work after the terrible accident, but were threatened with a firing squad for mutiny. They went back, however, 50 would not! That 50 was tried and jailed. Thurgood Marshall became involved, but the end result was the sailors were quietly released as the Navy was investigated for prejudice. Our Navy became integrated, and even placed some White service men in the bomb loading areas. The $5,000 which was offered to families of the deceased was lowered to $3,000 when an influential person fought the amount because he found out the dead were mostly Black. In those segregated times, there were markings on blood for transfusions! Black or White. God, living inside of us, grants freedom from prejudice! Heaven is a place of love! Love God and Love your neighbor! St John 3:16! 💖 1 John 1:9! Romans 10:9! HalleluJah!
