BLACK BOOTS
During an era of escalating and unquestioned segregation during World War II, a blacks-only Marine boot camp at Montford Point, a satellite facility of Camp Lejeune in North Carolina was established. For the first irrefutable time in US history, African Americans were combat trained and deployed in segregated units. The Montford Point Marines overcame racial stereotypes and overwhelming political and social stigma, breaking training and artillery records. On June 27th, 2012, they were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for their valor, determination, and accomplishments. It took 70 years to bring them this recognition.
Black Boots shines the light on the tribulations of those who answered the call of a divided nation and is a tribute to the sacrifice and patriotism of the First Black Marines.
