Thurgood Marshall was an Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court
from 1967 to 1991. He was the first African American to hold that
position, and was one of the most influential legal actors of his
time. Before being appointed to the Supreme Court by President
Lyndon Johnson, Marshall was a lawyer for the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Federal Judge
(1961-1965), and Solicitor General of the United States
(1965-1966). Marshall won twenty-nine of thirty-two cases before
the Supreme Court - most notably the landmark case of Brown v.
Board of Education, which held segregated public schools
unconstitutional. Marshall spent his career fighting racial
segregation and legal inequality, and his time on the court
establishing a record for supporting the "voiceless American." He
left a legacy of change that still affects American society today.
Through this concise biography, accompanied by primary sources that
present Marshall in his own words, students will learn what
Marshall did (and did not do) during his life, why those actions
were important, and what effects his efforts had on the larger
course of American history.
