Description

Much has been written about Thurgood Marshall, but that is the first book to gather his own words. Here are briefs he filed as a lawyer, oral arguments for the landmark school desegregation cases, investigative reports on race riots and racism within the Army, speeches and articles outlining the history of civil rights and criticizing the actions of more conservative jurists, Supreme Court opinions now widely cited in Constitutional law, a long and complete oral autobiography, and a lot more. Marshall’s have an effect on on American race relations used to be greater than that of somebody else this century, for it used to be he who ended legal segregation in the USA. His victories as a lawyer for the NAACP broke the color line in housing, transportation, voting, and schools by overturning the long-established “separate-but-equal” doctrine. But Marshall used to be attentive to all social inequalities: no Supreme Court justice has ever been more consistent in strengthen of freedom of expression, affirmative action, women’s rights, abortion rights, and the best to consensual sex among adults; no justice has ever fought so hard against economic inequality, police brutality, and capital punishment.
