Steve Sheinkin became interested in the Port Chicago 50 after learning about the little-known story of the African American sailors who faced a tragic explosion and subsequent court-martial for refusing to work under dangerous conditions during World War II. His research revealed the broader themes of racial injustice and the fight for civil rights, which resonated with him deeply. This compelling narrative inspired him to delve into the historical context and share the story through his writing, ultimately leading to the publication of his book, "The Port Chicago 50."
