Thurgood Marshall’s journey to the Supreme Court began as a child.

From a young age, Marshall’s parents emphasized the importance of education, the Constitution, and the rule of law. His father, a railroad porter, took Thurgood and his brother to watch court cases in their hometown of Baltimore.

After dinner, Marshall’s mother, a schoolteacher, would join the three in a debate about the cases they’d watched that day and other current events.

Marshall credited his father with turning him into a lawyer, saying that his father “did it by teaching me to argue, by challenging my logic on every point, by making me prove every statement I made.” Marshall would become the first Black Supreme Court justice in 1967, nominated by President Johnson.
