Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Thurgood Marshall turned a law school rejection based on his race into a passion for ending our nation's policy of "separate but equal." He was on the legal team that won the landmark Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case and used that victory as a precedent to topple other racial barriers. He furthered racial reforms after being named our nation's first black Supreme Court justice.
Includes bibliographical references (page 58-61) and index.
