Thurgood
Marshall was America's leading radical. He led a
civil rights revolution in the 20th century that forever
changed the landscape of American society. But he is the
least well known of the three leading black figures of
this century. Martin Luther King Jr., with his
preachings of love and non-violent resistance, and
Malcolm X, the fiery street preacher who advocated a
bloody overthrow of the system, are both more closely
associate in the popular mind and myth with the civil
rights struggle. But it was Thurgood Marshall, working
through the courts to eradicate the legacy of slavery
and destroying the racist segregation system of Jim
Crow, who had an even more profound and lasting effect
on race relations than either of King or X
