Mission Montford Point: Join Fox Wilmington in paying tribute to our local African American Veterans!


WHAT IS MISSION MONTFORD POINT?

The Marines’ first black recruits received basic training at the segregated Montford Point Base adjacent to Camp Lejeune, NC and would continue to do so until 1949.

It is a powerful and poignant 30-minute documentary special: “Our America: Mission Montford Point.”    The documentary focuses on the brave trailblazers who were the first Black men to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps, the Montford Point Marines, trained in North Carolina. Chronicling their history, this special also highlights the dedicated individuals locating these Marines and their descendants in an effort to honor them with the Congressional Gold Medal.

“Our America: Mission Montford Point,” is so much more than a documentary special, but rather a service to our community as we, along with our station partners, will work to identify the families of the 18,000 Montford Point Marines that have yet to receive their Congressional Gold Medal.


Looking for lost Montford Point veterans! If you have a relative or friend who may have served please contact us. We want to honor our veterans.
