Why are The Montford Point Marines notable?
Montford Point in North Carolina saw more than 20,000 African Americans trained in segregated facilities between 1942 and 1949. These Black men became the nation's first African American Americans to serve in the United States Marine Corps. The Marine Corps had previously refused to recruit Blacks into the Marines. Roosevelt's Fair Employment Practices Commission in 1941 forced the Corps, despite objections, to begin recruiting African American Marines in 1942. Montford Point continued to train Blacks until 1949, when training segregation ended.
