The Case of Ensign Vernon "Copy" Berg
This is one of two episodes conducted in partnership with the North American Society of Oceanic History (NASOH). Our guest, doctoral candidate Heather Haley, received honorable mention for the Reynolds Prize this year with NASOH. We discussed her paper on the case of ENS Copy Berg, the first USNA graduate to challenge the Navy's policy on gays in the military in the 1970s.
