On this episode of Table Talk we're telling the story of the Port Chicago 50 -- navy seamen who were charged with mutiny after they refused to return to unsafe working conditions following a deadly munitions explosion at a naval base. We talk with Carol Cherry, daughter of one of the Port Chicago 50, who were posthumously exonerated on the 80th anniversary of the 1944 explosion.
