    Episode 168.1 - Port Chicago, Pt. I

    In this two-part episode we delve into a disaster on the US home front during WWII and the subsequent work stoppage that contributed to the eventual desegregation of the US Navy. Part I deals with the Port Chicago disaster itself, and Part II will cover the details of the famous "mutiny" that took place in its aftermath.
