    Maj. 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. 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.
