Some history making Marines recently spent some time in Charlotte right before Labor Day. The National Montford Point Marine Association held its 54th Convention in the Queen City. The Montford Point Marines were the first African Americans allowed to join the Marine Corps. They enlisted in 1942. There were about 20,000 African American Marines who had to train at Camp Montford Point in Jacksonville, NC because of segregation.
