The Montford Point Marine Sculpture that represents the Montford Point Marines; the angle of incline represents the uphill struggle for equality, stands at the Montford Point Marines Memorial in Jacksonville, North Carolina, Aug. 26, 2020. This year marks the 78th anniversary of when the first African-American recruits arrived on Montford Point in 1942 to conduct Marine Corps recruit training, paving the way for approximately 20,000 African-Americans over the next 7 years to earn the title of Marine.
