National Montford Point Marine Day is celebrated annually on August 26 to honor the first African Americans who enlisted and trained in the U.S. Marine Corps.

On August 26, 1942, the first group of African American recruits who enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, arrived at the segregated Montford Point Camp in Jacksonville, North Carolina.

From 1942 to 1949, roughly 20,000 African Americans trained at Montford Point Camp while facing severe racial discrimination.

Today, we celebrate their 84th Anniversary as we prepare to honor them and tell their story here at Montford Point Camp, now known as Camp Johnson. Join us on Friday, August 28th as we celebrate these Marines!
