In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established a presidential directive giving African Americans an opportunity to be recruited into the Marine Corps. These African Americans, from all states, were not sent to typical Marine boot camps, but were sent to a segregated basic boot camp at Montford Point, a facility at Camp Lejuen, North Carolina.
