Before the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, racial segregation was an unfortunate fact of life - even in the U.S. military. Marine Sgt. Todd Hunter tells us about the first black Marines, and what has come of their sacrifices. Includes soundbites from Montford Point Marines Edgar Law, Vaughan Whitworth, LeRoy Pettman, and Jack McDowell. Also available in high definition.
