This picture book biography of US Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall takes the reader from Marshall's beginnings, as a child, through his law school days and as he argued cases in front of the US Supreme Court for the NAACP, to appointment as Solicitor General and later confirmation to the country's highest court as a justice. 

It includes a timeline of his life and brief summaries of six (6) of the landmark cases which he argued before the Supreme Court, including Brown vs. Board of Education. As a sitting justice, he heard Roe v. Wade and US v. Nixon cases. 

It's beautifully illustrated and an excellent additon to your home, classroom or school shelf.
