♪ A Live Performance of the Port Chicago Anthem by Nayeli Román
On Port Chicago Remembrance Day, before the formal commemoration begins, we gather at the Port Chicago Monument overlooking the San Francisco Bay — adjacent to the historic site of the 1944 Port Chicago Mutiny Trial.
Hosted by the Port Chicago Alliance in partnership with the Treasure Island Museum, this sunset gathering offers an opportunity for community, reflection, and conversation in the landscape where history unfolded.
Guests are invited to enjoy light refreshments and the elegant live jazz of the Lee Waterman Trio, whose repertoire spans timeless classics by Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Antônio Carlos Jobim, the Beatles, and other celebrated songwriters, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere as the sun sets over the bay.
Special Guest, Vocalist Nayeli Román, will perform a live rendition of the Port Chicago Anthem, Strength From You, commissioned by the Port Chicago Alliance, and written and composed by David James Boyd.
There are no formal speeches or ceremonies here, simply a chance to gather, connect, and reflect before the remembrance events of the following day.
