Synopsis
     This story or history was written to correct one of the many wrongs in the recording of American History. It is a fact that the victors in battle or those in power in peace write the history of past events to support their views of what should have happened versus the cold hard facts. This is the story of the Stewards, Cooks and Messboys who manned that branch of naval service. The story of the men who fought and served under trying circumstances. The story of men who served their country when to do so was to endure, or to appear to accept the humiliating admission of one's own inferiority. In this story can be found the heretofore-unwritten chapters of one phase of the Negroes' march toward freedom in America, written by a man who participated in it., Chester Arthur Wright was born in the small hamlet of Hope, Arkansas in 1922. Hope is sixteen miles from Fulton where the Red River turns for its plunge into Louisiana. This is half way to the Texas border, 32 miles from Hope at Texarkana. Chester is one of thirteen children born to Sebe Eugene and Zetta Josephine Wright. Hope Arkansas today was famous for growing the biggest watermelons in the world. As the author laughingly recounted, "They grow so big we had to steal one on a partnership." Chester caught a freight train, went to Texarkana, and joined the U.S. Navy in July, 1940 with a 10th grade education. He was not motivated by any lofty sense of patriotism. Rather it was the poverty induced by the "depression" of the 1930s and racism that tended to stymie the ambition of any young black, tie entered a Navy mat was the raciest branch of US. Armed Forces, It had barred Negroes from enlistment in 1919, after World War I "even as Servants". Negroes were barred from enlistment from 1919 until 1932. Then Negroes were allowed to enter the Navy again the Navy would allow them in as "Servants only" Waiters, Cooks. Stewards, Room Cleaners, Shoe Shine boys, personal body servants to Navy officers. They were not allowed into other branches of the Navy until 1942, during World War TI. The Negro Seamen, firemen, after, again being allowed in as other than Servants were not allowed to ride fighting Ships and many were put in Labor Battalions. It was in 1949, four years after World War II before the U.S. Navy allowed Chief Stewards and Cooks to become Chief Petty Officers. Chester was one of the two Chief Stewards promoted to Chief Petty Officers. In 1959 when the Navy created two additional Enlisted Rates (E-8 and E-9), it again proved to be quite "Stingy", with its Servants. Nonetheless Chester was again selected and promoted to Master Chief. The author was embarked in U.S.S. Salmon (SSR-573) in the Far East. In 1959 he was disabled and home bound. He recuperated in Oaknoll Hospital in Oakland, California from 1959 to 1961. While in bed Via Correspondence Courses, he finished High School and prepped for College. After accepting a disabled discharge in 1961, Chester attended Oakland City College, graduating with an Associate in Arts in 1963. Wright immediately enrolled at San Francisco State College and graduated in 1965 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social Welfare. Chester received his Masters Degree in Social Work at University of California Los Angeles, California in 1968. The author was both eye witness and participant in the March of Blacks from Servants only to the position of today's Admirals. Black Men and Blue Water attempts to shed some light on the all ignored segment of Naval History. Book jacket.

    This was a paperback/softcover 29 year old book I purchased in very good condition as described. However it was delivered in a plain white plastic envelope. They should have at least used a bubble pack lined shipping envelope for protection of the item inside. They should re-think their shipping & packaging strategies, especially with much much older delicate items. Other wise no problems whatsoever with seller. Recommended seller. A+
