Before he was part of our news team, Marshall was a war photographer with the U.S. Navy during the Korean War.
After he finished his military service, he came on board as a field photographer at ABC7, Marshall broke barriers by becoming one of the first African Americans to join a camera union.
Marshall retired from television in the early 1980s. He continued working as a medical photographer at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center until the early 1990s.
Marshall died over the weekend at the age of 87. ABC7's thoughts are with his family during this time.
