In celebration of Black History Month, join us in learning the largely untold story of the nation's first African American Marines during an intimate discussion with four Montford Point Marines on Feb. 23.
These men were among the 20,000 African Americans who trained in segregated facilities between 1942 and 1949 at Montford Point, NC, and became the first African Americans to serve in the United States Marine Corps.
For more information and to RSVP, contact Myra Valle (myra.valle@redcross.org), Director of the Service to the Armed Forces & International Services.
