The Montford Point Marines gather together for a group photo during the National Montford Point Marine Association’s 49th Annual National Convention, July 16, 2014. The Montford Point Marines were part of the 20,000 African American service members that trained at Montford Point during World War II. To preserve this legacy, the association has offered to share their stories, provide mentorship and conduct workshops with active duty and Reserve Marines throughout the convention.
