Get to know the first African American Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall in this middle grade nonfiction biography of his early years!The childhood of civil rights hero and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall comes to life in this engaging biography. Whenever Thurgood Marshall got into trouble at school, the principal would make him sit in the basement and read the US Constitution.

In 1967, he was appointed to the US Supreme Court--the first African American to serve in that position. This book is laced with numerous illustrations, and the back of the book includes a timeline, questions, activities, and a glossary, making it the perfect addition to a classroom or home school setting.
