Remember & Honor: The Fallen Soldiers of Port Chicago

Hosted by Black Hollywood Education and Resource Center (BHERC) | Free & Open to the Public

Join Sandra Evers-Manly and BHERC for their annual remembrance of the Port Chicago tragedy and the justice that came 80 years later!

“Remember & Honor: The Fallen Soldiers of Port Chicago” is a powerful remembrance program to honor the lives lost in the Port Chicago disaster of July 17, 1944. This free public gathering takes place at the final resting place of many Sailors who perished that day — some of whom were laid to rest beneath headstones marked only “Unknown Sailor.”

Each year on this solemn anniversary, we gather at the cemetery not only to pay our respects, but to tell the stories behind those anonymous markers, to restore names, voices, and dignity to the young men whose identities were lost to history and whose memory deserves to be preserved.

“Remember & Honor” is a call to remembrance, a tribute to sacrifice, and a step toward justice through recognition. All are welcome to join us in bearing witness and honoring these fallen heroes.
