Thurgood is a solo tour de force by George Stevens Jr. telling the inspiring true story of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Set at Howard University, the play traces Marshall's life from his childhood in Baltimore to arguing the landmark 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education and becoming the first African American Supreme Court justice. Brimming with wit, warmth, and wisdom, the piece celebrates Marshall's tenacious advocacy and its lasting impact on American history.
