U.S. Marines with 2nd Marine Logistics Group attending the Corporal’s Leadership School on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune read the Montford Point Marine Sculpture while visiting the Montford Point Marines Memorial, symbolizing the approximately 20,000 African-Americans that went through Marine Corps boot camp at Montford Point, in Jacksonville, North Carolina, Aug. 26, 2020. This year marks the 78th anniversary of when the first African-American recruits arrived on Montford Point in 1942 for Marine Corps recruit training, paving the way for approximately 20,000 African-Americans over the next 7 years to earn the title of Marine.
