Meet the sailors before, during and after that fated night. The dramatic story is told through the eyes of one of the survivors, Freddie Meeks. “Port Chicago 50” is a must see for everyone! Not only will it be a weekend of historical enlightenment but also a special time of entertainment. There are two performances only at McKenna Theater in the Creative Arts Building on the San Francisco State University campus. Show date is Saturday, July 28, 2018, at 3:00 and 8:00 p.m.

One team from North Carolina, African Diaspora Maritime (ADM), will not be competing. A few weeks ago, ADM’s suit against the SF Golden Gate Yacht Club to compete in the America’s Cup was dismissed and with it a chance for the super African American sailors to shine. This also stagnates opportunity for an ADM pavilion, which would have anchored a place for American Africans to generate money during the Cup competition.
