Did you know Thurgood Marshall became the first African American Supreme Court Justice in 1967? Previous to that appointment, Marshall had won 29 of the 32 cases that he argued before the Supreme Court. Marshall was the brilliant lawyer that won the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) case which ruled school segregation unconstitutional. Marshall received valuable experience with appointments by Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. The first president appointed him to the 2nd Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals and the latter to the U.S. Solicitor General in 1965.
