Thurgood Marshall, who later became the first African-American US Supreme Court justice, argued Brown v. Board of Education, (1954) before the Court, but he wasn't the only lawyer challenging the idea of "separate but equal." Brown was a consolidation of five separate cases opposing segregation in public schools across the nation. Each had been developed and tried in the lower courts by talented NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund lawyers who also deserve to be remembered for their efforts.
Many of these esteemed lawyers (and unnamed others) fought legal battles involving different aspects of the "separate but equal" doctrine in addition to Brown. To learn about some of the other NAACP lawyers who worked on Brown v. Board of Education, see Related Questions, below.
