February is #BlackHistoryMonth, and Pinellas County Schools is celebrating the generations of Black Americans who overcame adversity, made history and changed the world, starting with some names that you may recognize. Did you know that PCS has several schools named after prominent members of the Black community?

Today, we're highlighting Thurgood Marshall, the historical figure #BehindTheName of Thurgood Marshall Fundamental Middle in St. Petersburg. Justice Marshall argued to end segregation in public schools in Brown V. Board of Education, and continued to argue many more cases in support of civil rights until becoming the first African American U.S. Supreme Court Justice in 1967. 

Follow PCS on social media all month for more stories highlighting the legacy of Black Americans #BehindTheName of your neighborhood schools.
