Reviews

"Throughout his adult life, Thurgood Marshall dedicated himself to pursuing legal routes to racial equality. Marshall worked as a lawyer for the NAACP and participated in groundbreaking cases such as Brown versus The Board of Education that resulted in the forced desegregation of the nation's public schools. . . .Thurgood Marshall once said, 'Democracy cannot flourish amid fear. Liberty cannot bloom amid hate. Justice cannot take root amid rage.' These words and the story of this fascinating man's life are important for younger readers need to know." -- Children's Literature
