Using the framework of the dramatic, contentious five-day Senate hearing to confirm Marshall as the first African-American Supreme Court justice, Haygood creates a provocative and moving look at Marshall's life as well as the politicians, lawyers, activists, and others who shaped--or desperately tried to stop--the civil rights movement of the twentieth century: President Lyndon Johnson; Congressman Adam Clayton Powell Jr., whose scandals almost cost Marshall the Supreme Court judgeship; Harry and Harriette Moore, the Florida NAACP workers killed by the KKK; Justice J. Waties Waring, a racist lawyer from South Carolina, who, after being appointed to the federal court, became such a champion of civil rights that he was forced to flee the South; John, Robert, and Ted Kennedy; Senator Strom Thurmond, the renowned racist from South Carolina, who had a secret black mistress and child; North Carolina senator Sam Ervin, who tried to use his Constitutional expertise to block Marshall's appointment; Senator James Eastland of Mississippi, the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who stated that segregation was "the law of nature, the law of God"; Arkansas senator John McClellan, who, as a boy, after Teddy Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington to dinner at the White House, wrote a prize-winning school essay proclaiming that Roosevelt had destroyed the integrity of the presidency; and so many others."--Book jacket. 586 Ohioana book award for nonfiction, 2016 600 10 Marshall, Thurgood, |d1908-1993. |=^A304158 610 10 United States. |bSupreme Court |xOfficials and employees |xSelection and appointment |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A634529 650 0 Judges |xSelection and appointment |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A327380 856 42 |uhttp://supremecourthistory.org/timeline_marshall_thurgood.html 938 Brodart |bBROD |n111951593 938 Baker and Taylor |bBTCP |nBK0016400564 938 Coutts Information Services |bCOUT |n30296450 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n12247969 949 KF8745.M34 H394 2015 |hJOYNER132 |ojcas 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 998 4604863
