Mr. Clark and Mr. Davis discussed their book Thurgood Marshall: Warrior at the Bar, Rebel on the Bench, published by Carol Publishing Group, a biography of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. They were not able to talk to Marshall personally but use interviews from people closely associated with him to describe his upbringing in Baltimore, his work for the NAACP, and his handling of the historic Brown v. Board of Education segregation case. They discussed Justice Marshall’s role in the civil rights movement in the 20th century, as well as his influence on the Supreme Court. close
