Thurgood Marshall: The Making of America #6 by Teri Kanefield

4.0

This is the second in this series I’ve listened to. Each one is a digestible overview of an American icon’s life. In this case, Thurgood Marshall is someone I’ve certainly heard of, I’m pretty sure I learned about, but I did not have a real appreciation for the depth and breadth of his life or his impact on our country. The way he worked his way through his legal career from a young law student to Supreme Court justice really spans the racial history of the United States in the 20th century.

Both fascinating and a reminder about how far we have come, this is a great introduction to one of the most influential legal minds of the 20th century.

Bonus appearance by Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
