Thurgood Marshall was a civil-rights attorney, called by many "Mr. Civil Rights". He served as head and lawyer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Under this association, Marshal and the NAACP team won many important cases that fought for African American civil rights, including the Brown v. Board of Education case (1954), whose landmark decision abolished racial segregation in public education of the United States.

And in 1967, Marshall became the first African American to be confirmed as a Supreme Court justice; in this position he served 24 years.
