Thurgood Marshall
By Anthony
Hello, my name is Thurgood Marshall. I am the first
African-American Supreme Court Justice. I will tell about my life.
I was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1908. My mother was a
teacher and my father was a waiter. Every dinner I debated with my father and
brother. At that time segregation was legal. I went to a black only school. Later,
I went to Howard University to become a lawyer. I took the case of Brown vs.
the Board of Education so black and white people could go to the same school. I
fought for Women Rights and American Indians’ Rights, but most of all, I fought
for equal rights.
I retired in 1991. I
died in 1993.
