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.
