On June 13, 1967, Thurgood Marshall was nominated to the United States Supreme Court by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

Marshall became the first African American nominated to serve on the nation’s highest court, marking a historic moment in American legal and civil rights history.

Before joining the Supreme Court, Marshall spent decades challenging segregation and racial discrimination through the courts. As lead counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, he argued and won the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case in 1954, helping end legal school segregation in the United States.

His nomination represented not only a personal achievement, but also the growing impact of the Civil Rights Movement on American institutions during the 1960s.

we recognize Thurgood Marshall’s historic nomination and his lasting influence on civil rights and constitutional law in the United States.
