NOV. 9, 2012 Carlsbad bestows honor on resident By Christina Macone-Greene CARLSBAD — A loud applause erupted inside the Carlsbad City Council Chambers as Willie E. Marbrey, a retired Master Sergeant of the Marine Corps, accepted his sp ecial recognition on Nov 6. Mayor Matt Hall pr esented Marbrey with a pr oclamation and was delighted to congratulate Marbrey in person. Recently, Marbrey, a Carlsbad resident, was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the most prestigious honor for an American. The Congressional Gold Medal underscored Marbrey’s early years in the military branch. In 1945, when he enlisted, he was sent to the segregated basic training depot, Montford Point in Jacksonville, N.C. “During this initiation period, black Montford Point Marines endured many hardships and injustices, while serving their country,” Hall said. “Following basic tr aining, Mr. Marbrey was assigned to a Replacement Dr aft Company and spent man y years at Montford Point. He continued on in the Marines for 24 years, serving a tour in Vietnam and at man y other duty stations throughout the United States and Japan.” Previous reports and articles have described how African American soldiers at Montford Point endured severe discrimination, while their living conditions were bleak. Caucasian drill sergeants were relentless with their ridicule and prejudice. “The drill ser geants weren’t nice, let’s put it that way,” said Marbrey, 85. Marbrey recalled an experience when he became ill with lesions in his eyes. His camp didn’t have a specialist so he w as sent to another place f or medical attention. “They sent me to the ‘white camp’ by bus and there was only one other person on that bus, ” Marbrey said. “We were halfway inside the base a nd this young kid came to me and said, ‘(N-word) get in the back of the bus. ’” Marbrey continued, “There wasn’t a soul on that bus but just he and I — but I thought about it and said to myself, ‘Anything I am going to do is going to be wr ong,’ so I went to the back of that bus.” Despite the discriminatory hardships, the African American soldiers pushed forward and ser ved their Willie E. Marbrey was recently awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. Marbrey was recognized at the Carlsbad City Council’s Nov. 6 meeting for his prestigious honor.

It’s estimated that between the y ears of 1942 and 1949 w ell over 20,000 men were stationed and trained at Montford Point. “Due to the r ecognized accomplishments of the Montford Point Marines, not only have those individuals been awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, our nation’s highest civilian honor, but their history will be taught to future generations of Marines,” Hall said. Throughout his car eer, Marbrey was stationed at numerous bases including Quantico, Okinawa, Middle Camp Mt. Fuji, Pearl Harbor, Camp Pendleton, and Da Nang in Vietnam. Marbrey retired in 1989. Looking back, Marbrey said, it was the camaraderie “of all us black guys to stick together” that kept them going even through the roughest of times. And today, many of these soldiers still keep in touch and the support for one another remains. Marbrey said that he hopes the lesson people learn from hearing the Montford Point stories is to be more sincere and kind towards others. “It’s an honor to gi ve this Congressional Gold Medal recipient this proclamation,” Hall said. “It is men like Mr. Marbrey who helped keep us safe and he truly has earned this gold medal.” By Jared Whitlock COAST CITIES — Encinitas artist Man uelita Brown wants to cr eate the sculpture of her dreams. Finding funding for the project, a tricky endeavor in this economy, is the only thing that stands in her way. Her solution? Join the crowdfunding trend. Brown, a longtime sculptor, once looked solely to private donations, foundations and government grants for her pieces. Due to a down economy, those sources of funding have largely dried up, but a new one has emerged. Like so many artists in the last fe w years, Brown recently turned to Kickstarter, a national crowdfunding website where local artists and entrepreneurs can ask friends, family and strangers to finance their projects. “Kickstarter has been a blessing for people — a real alternative for artists,” Brown said. Since mid-October, 32 people have pledged roughly $3,900 to Brown’s vision — a life-size sculpture of Sojourner Truth, a former slave who became an abolitionist and w omen’s suffragette. Like all Kickstarter projects, funding is an all-or-nothing proposal within a set time frame, meaning Brown won’t get anything if her project fails to reach the $18,000 she’s requesting by Nov. 17. “I’ve been humbled by support and hope I can get there,” said Brown, who plans to donate the statue to a park or school should she secure enough funding. Another reason Brown chose crowdfunding: She’ll have total cr eative control over her project. Those who pledge to Kickstarter projects aren’t given a stake of the project and don’t share in any profits (if there are any); however, they receive “rewards” in exchange for support — in Brown’s case that means a disc of photo graphs documenting the sculpting process for those who provide $25, or on the higher end, a small THE COAST NEWS Artists, entrepreneurs ride crowdfunding wave bronze sculpture specially for people who contribute $2,500 or more. Brown said she’s proud of past commissions and grateful to those who pr ovided funding. But money from outside groups or individuals sometimes requires compromising on her artistic vision. “I wanted to do this one my way, and I’m happy people are buying into m y idea,” Brown said. Like Brown, Carmel Valley filmmaker Pierce Kavanagh wanted to create something entirely of his own mind, and Kickstarter has helped him do just that. Kavanagh’s first Kickstarter raised more than $16,000, which is $7,000 more than he originally requested for “What the Sea Gives Me,” a documentary that will highlight those with a lifelong connection to the ocean. Kavanagh said he w as reluctant to try Kickstarter, because he “didn’t want to ask for a handout.” But he came around to the idea of crowdfunding when he realized most donations w ere small and backers got something in return. “Seeing people support independent filmmakers is amazing,” Kavanagh said, adding with a laugh: “Small Free Consultation A KIND, CARING ATTORNEY You can be assured we will take your case seriously, return your phone calls in a timely manner and strive to provide quality, honest and affordable representation.
