"A kid blessed to a dark mother in circumstances like Mississippi...gets the same protection under the law as a white baby blessed to the wealthiest person in the United States. It isn't true, but I test one to say it isn't a goal worthwhile doing work for." - Thurgood Marshall A lot of ink has been spilled within the lives of history's most influential information, but how a lot of the forest is lost for the trees and shrubs? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to rate on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to complete a commute, while learning interesting facts long neglected or never known. Nobody is a bigger testament compared to that simple fact than Thurgood Marshall, the African-American attorney who effectively argued the Brown v. Board case. Today Marshall is most beneficial known for being the first dark Supreme Judge justice, but that history placing precedent has come to overshadow the instrumental work he do as key counsel for the Country wide Connection for the Progression of Colored People. Marshall argued more circumstances before the Supreme Judge than anyone in history and would succeed nearly 30 of these, like the seminal Brown v. Board case. Marshall was eventually appointed as an appellate justice by Chief executive Kennedy and was a very natural choice for the Supreme Judge when Chief executive Lyndon Johnson appointed him. The session of Marshall made history, but Marshall remaining an indelible symbol on North american jurisprudence as a liberal anchor on the judge for more than two decades. Obviously, he was a intensifying voice on the issue of civil protection under the law, and he also needed strong stances on criminal procedure circumstances, including ardent opposition contrary to the death penalty and the conditioning of legal protections for criminal defendants.
