The Highest Tribute: Thurgood Marshall’s Life, Leadership and Legacy by Kekla Magoon

February 5, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Highest Tribute: Thurgood Marshall’s Life, Leadership and Legacy seemed like at first it would be dull: He was born this date. He died here. He was a lawyer. He did this, that, and the other thing. And while all that is there, it is presented in a way that makes you want to turn the page and feel like you are reading a story and not a textbook. And while I could make comparisons to many men and women of color because of his […]

I don’t know if other people do this, but I usually have three books going that serve three different purposes.
