80th Anniversary Commemoration Event

Three days before the 80th Anniversary Commemoration event, July 20, 2024, the Secretary of the Navy, Carlos Del Toro, granted EXONERATION to all 258 of the sailors involved. “The exoneration of the African American sailors,” he said, “clears their names, restores their honor and acknowledges the courage they displayed in the face of immense danger.”
