Reply to comment by NinDiGu in TIL the Port Chicago disaster accounted for 15% of all African American casualties in World War II by Butthole_Alamo

Even if it is a goldmine for black american history, i still didnt find the info. The only number given is about casualties of the 92? Division and it mentions there a 25% as well. Its on the second page (part ii) towards the end

They were not deployed overseas until very late in the war seems to be the reason for the low casualty numbers overall.
