Brother Thurgood
Marshall was one
of the the most well known
figures of the Civil Rights
era. The first Black Supreme
Court Justice, he served
on the Court for 24 years
until June 28, 1991. Before
serving on the Supreme Court
Brother Marshall served
as legal director of the
NAACP. Marshall, along with
his mentor Charles Hamilton,
developed a long-term strategy
for eradicating segregation
in schools. This culminated
in the landmark 1954 decision
Brown v. The Board of Education,
Topeka Kansas, which declared
segregation in public, schools
illegal. Pictured second
from the right is Brother
Thurgood Marshall at the
famous Brown v. Board case. |
