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.

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.
