This year marks the 80th anniversary of the desegregation of the Navy, a milestone rooted in the brave protest of the Port Chicago 50 who, in the face of hazardous and unjust working conditions, defied orders and refused to continue working under Jim Crow segregation. This act of resistance not only helped pave the way for the Navy's desegregation but also positioned the Bay Area as a center of civil rights activism and social justice.
