Montford Point Marines Sgt. Riley A. McCray and Cpl. Lynn L. Williams share stories after they are presented with the Congressional Gold Medal at a ceremony here Sept. 21. That was until President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, issued a directive that allowed more than 22,000 blacks to enlist into the Marines. However, these Marines still underwent a separate recruit training at Montford Point, a training facility near Camp Lejuene, N.C. (Photo by Sgt. Robert Durham)
