This excellent biography of Thurgood Marshall is a great reminder of a great American who provided unprecedented service to the country. He was first and so far one of only two African-American justices of the Supreme Court. He did the legal groundwork that led to the Brown decision in 1954 that legally integrated American's schools. For many years he was a steady liberal vote on the court. He was a great, great, man and this biography does him justice.
