Why Thurgood Marshall was important. By Matthew Rose
Thurgood Marshall was an important figure in American history, maybe even world history.Growing up, Marshall knew what it meant to be poor. His mother taught at an integrated primary school in Baltimore. His father was a steward at the all white Gibson Island Country Club on Chesapeake Bay. Thier income wasn’t very high. Thurgood’s family was brought to Maryland from the congo in Africa, it started with his Great-Grandfather who was a slave for many years before winning his freedom.
Although Marshall ends up being a supreme court justice, he caused many problems in his school in his early years. He knew that none of the teachers would fail him because his own mother taught there,
