At the Montford Point Marine Museum, patrons can view original artifacts dating back as far as the 1940s. The Montford Point Marines were the first African Americans to enlist in the Marine Corps, earning the name after completing training at Recruit Depot Montford Point, N.C., a separate training facility made for blacks due to segregation in the armed forces during the 1940s.
