A Riot Injured 50 Men. The Navy Only Charged Black Sailors

In 1972, a 6-hour riot on the USS Kitty Hawk injured over 50 sailors. The Navy's response was swift: they charged 25 Black sailors with mutiny and zero white sailors. This is the story of the systemic racism that caused the "mutiny" and the one-sided investigation that followed. It's the story of Commander Benjamin Cloud, the Black officer who saw white sailors directing the attacks, and the perjury tapes that proved the Navy's case was a lie. And it's the story of lawyer Marv Truhe, who kept the "smoking gun" evidence in five boxes for 50 years to finally tell the truth. #UnseenFrontlines #USSKittyHawk #VietnamWar #MilitaryInjustice #HiddenHistory #USNavy #MarvTruhe
