In honor of Black History Month, Mickle & Bass celebrate he life of Thurgood Marshall. Thurgood Marshall was an American lawyer who was appointed as an associate justice of the Supreme Court in 1967. He was the first African American to hold the position and served for 24 years, until 1991. Marshall studied law at Howard University. As counsel to the NAACP, he utilized the judiciary to champion equality for African Americans. In 1954, he won the Brown v.

"In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute." "A child born to a Black mother in a state like Mississippi... has exactly the same rights as a white baby born to the wealthiest person in the United States.
