    Retired Master Gunnery Sgt. James Carr, Montford Point Marine Association’s national vice president, speaks about the courage of the original Montford Point Marines during Clement Poussaint’s Congressional Gold Medal award ceremony Sept. 8, at the Harlem YMCA, here. Poussaint served as an acting sergeant major during World War II and received a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award that may be bestowed upon a civilian, for his contributions that led to the eventual desegregation of the armed forces.
