Honoring Lloyd Anthony McKinney and the Port Chicago 50
Senses of Silence
Lineage is not just what you inherit — it's what was kept from you. Senses of Silence is the story of Lloyd Anthony McKinney — a Black sailor, a Port Chicago 50 survivor, and a grandfather who carried a wrongful mutiny conviction in his bones for forty-one years. The Navy called it an accident. The family called it silence. This book calls it what it is: a truth that refused to die, and a grandson's discipline to bring it into the light.
