History Of The Marine Corps

This episode closes out our series on desegregation in the Marine Corps. We pick up after World War II and follow the fight for equality through Korea, Vietnam, and beyond. From Truman’s Executive Order to the violent racial clashes at Camp Lejeune, we cover the battles fought in the field and the ones fought in the barracks, promotion boards, courtrooms, and parade fields. ************* Visit HistoryoftheMarineCorps.com to subscribe to our newsletter, explore episode notes and images, and see our references.
