In World War II, 160 African American sailors fought the Nazis, challenged the Navy ... and won.
Heroism ignored for 50 years comes alive in this action adventure film about the only World War II warship with an African American crew. Based on a true story.
The US Navy's first African American deep sea diver, Carl Brashear, has passed at the age of 75. A story about Master Chief Brashear's life from The Virginia Pilot can be found here. It is of further interest as it includes a comments section where people write about knowing or meeting Mr. Brashear.
