One night in October, 1972, violent confrontations between Black and white sailors and marines happened aboard the USS Kitty Hawk while off the coast of North Vietnam. It was the culmination of the stress of the war and simmering racial tensions. For six hours, Black and whites clashed, yet the next day, only Black sailors were court-martialed and brought up on charges. We hear about what really happened on the ship, and how such one-sided injustice happened to 25 accused Black sailors. Our guests include Marv Truhe, author of Against All Tides, The Untold Story of the USS Kitty Hawk Race Riot; and Perry Pettus, who was assaulted by Marines during the incident. Truhe served as a Navy JAG lawyer and military judge during the Vietnam war and served as defense attorney for several of the Kitty Hawk defendants.
