This museum tells the story of the segregated Marine Corp in the early days of WWII. It tells the history of Black American Heroes that fought not only the war, but the bigotry of the South - (1) for the opportunity to stand up and fight for their country and (2) the respect of doing the same job as their white counterparts!
