. WASHINGTON, - (SNS)
Naval history was made year ago
this month at the u. S. Naval
Training Station, Great Lakes, Ill.
On June 5, 1942, Doreston Luke
Carmen, Jr., 10, of Galveston, Tex
as came aboard as the first Negro
to report for training under the
Nays new program for enlisting
men of the Negro race.
Carmen smiled and posed for
Navy photographers for more than
two hours and then, along with
others of the first contingent to
arrive at the Training Station,
moved into a newly constructed
camp. The recruits formed the
vanguard of thousands of men of
their race who were to train at
Great Lakes and go on to duties
at shore stations and at sea in the
year to come.
At this camp the new sailors were
greeted by a man with a rich heri-
tage in the training and education
of the Negro people, named by the
Navy Department to assume COM
mand of this newly established
unit Still in charge of the program,
he is Commander Daniel W. Arm
strong, a member of the class of
1915 at Annapolis, and a trustee of
Hampton Institute, Va, since 1929.
His father was the late Brigadier
General S. c. Armstrong, famous
leader of Negro troops during the
Civil War and founder of Hampton
Institute
CAMP RENAMED
The new training center was un-
officially called Camp Morrow. from
Morrow road W.iich runs adjacent
to the unit. Soon after its opening
and in line with the policy of nam
ing camps after Navy heroes, the
training center was named Camp
Robert Smalls, in honor of Negro
naval hero of the Civil War.
A few months later, a new ave-
hue in the Navy was opened to
Camp Smalls' Bluejackets. An adj
dition to the Stations Service
School was opened in their camp,
ofering courses in nine of the
trades and services maintained by
the Navy. A similar school was
started soon after at Hampton In
stitute.
