Montel Williams



Picture by paramount


Montel Williams was born in Baltimore MD. He started his career as an out spoken individual early on by participating in the student busing movement.
Williams enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1974. Only a year later, he was accepted into the United States Naval Academy. Montel graduated with a degree in engineering and a minor in international security affairs. Upon graduation, Williams was commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy.

Williams served on the USS Sampson during the U.S. invasion of Grenada. His awards include the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, two Navy Expeditionary Medals, two Humanitarian Service Medals, a Navy Achievement Medal, two Navy Commendation Medals and two Meritorious Service Medals. After 12 years of military service he finished as a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy.

Montel began The Montel Wiliams Show in 1991. The show ran for 17 successful years. Montel is very outspoken, and a unique talk show host. Montel is seen below taking up for the many American heroes who have lost their lives in Iraq.



Montel Williams was a great talk show host, and The Montel Williams Show is missed :(

I admire Montel a great deal and he has earned his spot at number 27 on Leiomi Nala's Corner Black History Month Countdown.
GO MONTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk to you soon!!
