Deloris Guttman, President of the the African American Diversity Cultural Center Hawaii and Ernest Golden, Vice Chairman Emeritus of the AADCCH, perform an ancestral libation at the 7th Celebration of Life & Memory for West Loch Internees ceremony at the National Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu Hawaii, May 21, 2016. On May 21, 1944, U.S. Army troops were loading ammunition, weapons and fuel onto vessels in preparation for Operation Forager, a World War II campaign on the Mariana Islands, when an explosion spread fire through West Loch, a staging area of Pearl Harbor. In the next 24 hours, six ships sank, 163 personnel died and 396 personnel were injured in what was the second largest tragedy of Pearl Harbor during World War II.
