Remembering Port Chicago

A tragedy from World War II’s home front: over 300 African-American sailors perished at Port Chicago. This film documents how they served and sacrificed for their country. Produced for NCA’s Veterans Legacy Program by students and faculty from San Francisco State University.

NCA is proud to support local filmmakers, storytellers, and students engaging with the stories of Veterans in their local national cemeteries. They may raise issues of local interest or even controversy. We hope this encourages all viewers to learn more about the Veterans and their circumstances. The views expressed by parties in the films are not those of NCA, but presented as part of the plurality of perspectives and views surrounding the life and service of American Veterans.
