African-American mutinies in the United States Armed Forces

There have been several mutinies by African-Americans in the United States Armed Forces, often owing to racism against African Americans in the U.S. military.

Houston Riot

The Houston Riot occurred in 1917 when a group of 156 African-American soldiers disobeyed orders from their superiors, seized weapons and attempted to march on the City of Houston. At courts-martial, nineteen soldiers were executed, and forty-one were given life sentences. The riot created a deep concern for black leaders who were not sure whether it was appropriate to praise an act of mutiny.^[1]

World War II

An Australian historian claims to have uncovered information that in 1942, the 96th Engineer Battalion, an African-American battalion stationed in Townsville, Australia, mutinied in response to racial discrimination, firing 700 machine-gun rounds into occupied tents of white officers.^[2]^[3]

In 1944, a large number of African-American sailors refused to load munitions after hundreds of their fellow African-American sailors were killed in the Port Chicago disaster. The sailors were charged with mutiny and given jail sentences that were later reduced.

In 1945, the Freeman Field Mutiny, was a series of incidents at Freeman Army Airfield, a United States Army Air Forces base near Seymour, Indiana, in 1945 in which African American members of the 477th Bombardment Group attempted to integrate an all-white officers' club. The mutiny resulted in 162 separate arrests of black officers, some of them twice.

Other notable African-American mutinies of World War II include those at Dale Mabry Field,^[4] Fort Bragg, Camp Robinson, Camp Davis, Camp Lee, and Fort Dix, among others.^[5] Black soldiers fired on white soldiers in mutinies at Camp Claiborne and Brookley Air Force Base.^[6]

USS Kitty Hawk riot

The 1972 USS Kitty Hawk riot has also been described as a mutiny.^[7]^{[page needed]}
