The first African American appointed to the Supreme Court, Thurgood Marshall built his reputation working for the NAACP; it was in this capacity that he won the seminal civil rights case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. The story of Marshall's education and of his years spent arguing civil rights cases across the country shows not only his brilliance, but also his personal courage, generosity, and sense of humor. "I intend to wear life like a very loose garment," Marshall once said, "and never worry about nothin'." Notes. Bibliography. Further reading. Web sites.
