DeSaulnier Visits Thurgood Marshall – Home of the Port Chicago 50
August 17, 2022
On the heels of the July 15, 2022 announcement by Congressman Mark DeSaulnier that he had successfully passed a measure in the House of Representatives to exonerate the Port Chicago 50, the Park District hosted Rep. DeSaulnier and members of the public on August 13 for a walk and talk hike at the site of the former Concord Naval Weapons Station. Park District Board President Colin Coffey opened the program, which was followed by a short walking tour led by Park District interpretive staff. The walk provided an opportunity to hear about federal exoneration efforts of the wrongly accused sailors, history of the site, and future plans for public access.
