    Houston Shinal, the previous national monument director for the National Montford Point Marine Association, conducts an interview about the Montford Point Marines at the Montford Point Marines Memorial in Jacksonville, North Carolina, Aug 17, 2020. This year marks the 78th anniversary of when the first African-American recruits arrived on Montford Point in 1942 for Marine Corps recruit training and paving the way for approximately 20,000 African-Americans over the next 7 years to earn the title of Marine.
