The story of the brilliant lawyer who successfully argued the case
that ended legal racial segregation in America Thurgood Marshall,
the great grandson of a slave, was born at a time when African
Americans were denied equal rights in America. Segregation was
legal. Lynching was common. In some places, African Americans were
entirely excluded from public life; they were forbidden to enter
public parks and museums or use public swimming pools and
restrooms. After being denied admission to the University of
Maryland Law School because of his race, Marshall enrolled at
Howard University. He graduated first in his class and set out as a
young lawyer determined to achieve equality for all Americans. Here
is the story of how he did it-how he devised his legal strategy for
expanding "we the people" to include all people. Thurgood Marshall
explores the life of the brilliant lawyer who successfully argued
the case that ended legal racial segregation in America, following
his childhood in Baltimore to his trailblazing career as a civil
rights lawyer, and finally his years as a United States Supreme
Court justice.
