West Point is about to graduate its largest class of black women in its 217-year history
Thirty-two black female cadets will graduate from the United States Military Academy on May 25 - the largest group of black women the school has matriculated in its 217-year history.
The school, more commonly referred to as West Point, shared photos of the historic group, posing in dress uniform, with INSIDER on Thursday.
West Point has been making an effort to recruit more multicultural cadets since 2014, when it set up a diversity office.
