Thurgood Marshall -- American History

Celebrating American History in February

Thurgood Marshall --

an American lawyer and civil rights activist who became the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. Marshall had a long and distinguished legal career, serving as the lead attorney in landmark cases such as Brown v. Board of Education, which struck down racial segregation in public schools. Throughout his life, he fought tirelessly for racial justice and equality, and he remains an inspiration to many for his dedication to the cause of civil rights.

Black History Month is an annual observance in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated in February in the United States and Canada, and in October in the United Kingdom. The observance was first established as "Negro History Week" by historian Carter G. Woodson in 1926, and later expanded to a month-long celebration in 1976. The goal of Black History Month is to recognize and honor the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history.
