McCray earned the Congressional Gold Medal by presidential order for being one of the 20,000 African-American Marines to serve in the Corps between 1942 and 1949 during a time of racism and segregation. “That was the worst thing that I have experienced in my life,” said McCray, who was from then-violent west Philadelphia. “It was worse than my neighborhood at the time.”
