#OTD in 1967, Thurgood Marshall was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to be the first Black Supreme Court justice. 

His time as civil rights lawyer included such victories as Brown v Board of Education, which determined that racial segregation of public schools violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

More than half a century after Marshall was appointed the first African American Supreme Court justice — America still can and must do better.
