Explanation:
Thurgood Marshall was the first Supreme Court justice of African descend. He was a lawyer by profession and played an important role in bringing racial equality and liberty during the Civil Rights Movement.
Marshall became a lawyer for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and it was during this time he served as chief attorney for the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. He successfully led the case and won a unanimous verdict against school segregation.
