Paper Summary:
Born in Baltimore, Maryland on July 2, 1908, Thurgood Marshall was the grandson of a slave. His father, William Marshall, instilled in him an appreciation for the United States Constitution and the rule of law from an innocent age. This paper covers the life and accomplishments of Thurgood Marshall, one of America's most influential and recognized justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. The paper includes a picture of Marshall.
From the Paper:
"In 1930, he applied to the University of Maryland Law School, but was denied admission because of his unavoidable African- American status. This was an event that was to haunt him and direct his future professional life. Thurgood sought admission and was accepted at the Howard University Law School that same year and came under the immediate influence of the dynamic new dean, Charles Hamilton Houston, who instilled in all of his students the desire to apply the tenets of the Constitution to all Americans."
