Marshall was the first African American justice and spent his life fighting for equality. As a young man he had experienced discrimination first hand. He was the lawyer for Brown v Topeka and argued that separate but equal was not equal at all. He was a great man and powerful ally for equality and civil rights for all.

He utilized social science research, particularly studies by psychologists like Kenneth Clark, to demonstrate that segregation fostered feelings of inferiority.
