Ambassador Theodore Britton Jr.: Peace Through Diplomacy

Ambassador Theodore Britton Jr. is a Marine Corps Veteran, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and one of the first African Americans to join the Marines known as the Montford Marines.

Although the Marines now accepted African Americans, they were to be trained in a segregated facility located at Montford Point, North Carolina, adjacent to Camp Lejeune. For the remainder of World War II all black Marines were trained at Montford Point.

Ambassador Britton was nominated by President Gerald R. Ford to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Barbados and Grenada and as the U. S. Special Representative to Antigua, Dominica, St. Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla, St. Lucia and St. Vincent on November 17, 1974. Britton was elected as vice-chair of the Group on Urban Affairs at the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in 1971, and later as president.

One of the most important came on June 27, 2012, when 86-year-old Ambassador Britton was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, along with the other surviving Montford Point black Marines, for his service and bravery during World War II.

Ambassador Britton was not only recognized for serving in World War II but for fighting for equal treatment in a racially segregated U.S. military.
