Thurgood Marshall served as the chief counsel for the NAACP during the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. He argued that racial segregation in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Marshall's legal strategy highlighted the detrimental psychological effects of segregation on African American children, ultimately leading the Supreme Court to unanimously declare that "separate but equal" educational facilities were inherently unequal. This decision was a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement, setting the stage for desegregation.
