The Atlanta City Council proudly acknowledged a monumental chapter in history by recognizing the Montford Point Marines, the pioneering African American men who broke barriers in the United States Marine Corps. Established in 1942, the Montford Point Training Camp in Jacksonville, North Carolina, was the historic site where 20,000 African American men enlisted, ultimately leading to the desegregation of the Marine Corps after World War II. Today, we honor not only their bravery and dedication but also celebrate two distinguished members, Mr. James Pack and Ambassador Theodore R. Britton, Jr., for their service and profound impact on our nation’s history.
