Thurgood Marshall
"You do what you think is right and let the law catch up," thats how the grandson of slaves, Thurgood Marshall described his judicial approach.
It has been more than 50 years since Marshall became the first African-American U.S. Supreme Court Justice and racial tensions seem as high as they where in the 50s when Marshall brought Brown v. Board of Education to the supreme court.
"I wish I could say that racism and prejudice were only distant memories. We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust…We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better."
