Thurgood at The Caryl D. Philips Creativity Center

Based on the life and career of the Supreme Court’s first African-American Justice, this powerful one-man play follows Thurgood Marshall’s rise from his childhood in back-alley Baltimore, to Howard University law school, to his victorious challenges of segregation in the South, all the way to a seat on the highest court in the land in 1967. Humorous and inspiring milestones of Marshall’s journey reveal the remarkable brilliance, perseverance, and hope of one of the greatest American heroes of all time.
