The Legacy of the African-American Spiritual

Sound Learning Feature for October 2004

This month we revisit an American RadioWorks documentary on Thurgood Marshall. Before he was on the U.S. Supreme Court, he was an effective litigator. In this capacity, Thurgood Marshall won a significant victory with Brown v. Board of Education, which effectively made school segregation illegal. This feature examines Marshall's impact on civil rights as a litigator and activist—before he was on the Supreme Court.

The articles in this month's feature are of particular interest to teachers and students of American history, political science, and civics.
