Thurgood Marshall

We have been watching the film Separate But Equal in class, telling the story of Supreme Court case Brown vs. Board of Education. One of the main characters in this film is Thurgood Marshall, who at that time was a lawyer for the NAACP. I found some intersting interview footage of the real Thurgood Marshall who, in 1967 was the first African-American appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Thurgood Marshall is brilliant!! I love how he stands up for what he believes in and goes full throtle. I feel that Thurgood is the most interesting person in the film.

OK I'M USING A COMPUTER AT THE SCHOOL CAUSE I WANT TO GET EXTRA CREDIT. Ok soo, i just watched that in your class.. not too long ago and it really shows how good of a speaker and good man Thurgood is. I bet everyone was very greatful that he was leading in the trial. I don't think it wouldn't have been as good as trial with someone other then him.

I think Thurgood Marshall was a great person that stood up for what he believed in, even though he could have gotten in alot of trouble. To me I think he was the best person in the movie.
