How long did Thurgood Marshall live?

85 years


What was is like to live in Baltimore as a black person thurgood marshall?

Living in Baltimore as a Black person during Thurgood Marshall's time was marked by systemic racism and segregation, which permeated many aspects of daily life, including education, housing, and employment. Despite these challenges, the Black community in Baltimore also fostered a rich cultural and social life, characterized by resilience and activism. Marshall himself faced discrimination but used his experiences to fuel his fight for civil rights, ultimately leading to significant legal victories that aimed to dismantle segregation and promote equality. His upbringing in Baltimore deeply informed his later work as a lawyer and Supreme Court Justice.


What illness forced Thurgood Marshall to retire from the US Supreme Court?

Thurgood Marshall suffered from congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease, both of which ran in his family. The problem was compounded by his weight, diet, and refusal to quit smoking and cut down on alcohol consumption, longtime habits he found impossible to break. He also had damage to his heart from a series of minor heart attacks that began in 1976. Marshall's colleagues urged him to retire in 1979 after a fall down the Supreme Court steps resulted in two broken arms, but he stubbornly refused, insisting he intended to serve his entire life term. Eventually, Marshall's heath declined to the point that he could barely function and was no longer capable of withstanding a rigorous schedule. His decision may have been influenced by the retirement of his good friend, Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., several years earlier, and by his belief that he wouldn't live long enough to have a Democrat appoint his successor. Marshall died in 1993, the day after President Bill Clinton's inauguration.
