Today’s host of Bring It On!, William Hosea speaks with Mallorie Berger, Reginald Moore, and Joe Geeter, public relations specialists for the National Montford Point Marine Association. They are here to discuss the Montford Point Marine Story and the upcoming ABC documentary on the subject.
History has largely overlooked the trailblazers who were the first Black men to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps, the Montford Point Marines, named after the segregated section of Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina, where they trained. On 26 August, on the 80th anniversary of when the first Montford Point Marines set foot on the Marine base, ABC Owned Television Stations debuted the trailer of Our America: Mission Montford Point. The documentary special will debut on ABC Owned Stations 24/7 streaming platforms, 32 connected TV apps across streaming platforms Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Roku and Hulu beginning September 20.
