The restitution of the Port Chicago 50 is necessary to amend the wrongful trial and conviction of fifty African American sailors for mutiny in connection with their service at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in Concord, California during World War II. The Port Chicago 50 were demanding their unsafe working conditions be addressed before returning to work. An action throughout labor history many employees have taken, particularly when lives are at risk. Being subjected to military law, the men, now known as the Port Chicago 50, were prejudicially and wrongfully denied that right. Exoneration is needed to rectify and acknowledge the actions committed by the fifty men were not wrong, rather they were necessary.
