✏️A student-centered resource to help students learn and practice research skills, report writing, project and presentation skills.

Students will use this project-based unit to learn about and report on Thurgood Marshall. Thurgood Marshall (son of a slave) was a lawyer, civil rights activist, and associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (1967–91), the first African American member of the Supreme Court. As an attorney, he successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), which declared unconstitutional racial segregation in American public schools.
