Gregory Wyche, assistant inspector and instructor officer for 6th Communications Battalion, speaks about the contributions the Montford Point Marines made to the eventual desegregation of American society at large during Clement Poussaint’s Congressional Gold Medal awards ceremony Sept. 8, at the Harlem YMCA, here.
