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.
