DESCRIPTION:Mare Island Naval Shipyard: The Stories of Working People-Free Event\nJoin 
 us for the afternoon program recalling some of the stories of the people 
 who lived and worked at Mare Island, and made this place such a vibrant 
 part of California’s labor heritage.  Hear the story of the courageous 
 Naval detachment who saved downtown San Francisco in the Great Fire and 
 Earthquake of 1906. Listen to our narratives of the women welders and 
 African American ship fitters who achieved incredible productivity during 
 the war years. Study with us the way unions interacted with the US Maritime 
 Commission. Help us learn how best to support those working families 
 dealing with exposures to toxic materials during those periods of high 
 productivity. Hear updates on the Port Chicago incident, and how that 
 became a legal precedent. Understand with us the magnitude of impacts from 
 the Base Closure Act on communities like Vallejo.  Brainstorm with us as to 
 the best possible use of this amazing place as we turn swords into 
 plowshares.  But most of all, help us to salute those workers whose skills, 
 creativity and effort made the Bay Area the unprecedented and unquestioned 
 standard for shipbuilding.\nSee
