The dignity of the men who
stood at the “Halls of
Montezuma” would be
shocked at a U.S.Marine Corps
camp being named
“HASHMARK”, and although
this will not happen, the
memory of the patriot who
bore this nickname will be
honored when the first camp is
named for a Black man on
April 19th.
Montford Point, that famos
segregated camp where the
nation’s first Black Marines
gathered for basic training in
August of 1942, has remained
alive to this day through the
actions of an association that
includes among its members
well-known Black leaders,
including an assistant Secretary
of the Navy.
It was here that the late
retired Sergeant Major Gilbert
“Haskmark" Johnson, Acted
out the role that leaves him
remembered and beloved as the
tough leader determined to see
that Black marines “measured
up”.
TO RENAME CAMP This is
what will happen on the 19th
of April at Camp Lejeune’s
Montford Point Camp in North

an estimated 12 to 15
thousand Black marines, who
served under Sergeant Major
Johnson is expected to return
to watch Montford Point

ceremonies for the soldier,

The Montford Point Marine
Association has requested of
General Robert E. Cushman,
Jr., Commandant, that the
Point be remaned for “Their
Beloved Haskmark”.
After carefully studying his
record, the commandant
approved the request.
An impressive program has
been prepared for the
ceremony.
Numerous dignitaries,
including President Richard
Nixon, North Carolina
Governor James Holhouse, and
Alabama Governor George
Wallace, have been invited to
attend.
