Happy Birthday to Thurgood Marshall, a true trailblazing Marylander! Born in Baltimore on July 2, 1908, Marshall’s legal work played a vital role in the civil rights movement in America. He argued and won the landmark case Brown V. The Board of Education and became the first African American justice on the Supreme Court. This portrait of Marshall is displayed in “Passion and Purpose: The Voices of Maryland’s Civil Rights Activists,” a collection of oral histories and photographs highlighting the individuals and stories of the civil rights movement in the state. Take today to explore the impact of Marshall and other Maryland legacies in the "Passion and Purpose" exhibition at the Maryland Center for History and Culture (MCHC). #baltimore #Maryland #History #Culture #ThurgoodMarshall #CivilRights #Activism #oralhistory #interview #exhibition #museum (Photo: Thurgood Marshall, Nathaniel Kato Gibbs (1948-2018), oil on canvas, 1993.
