"Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on." – #ThurgoodMarshall #BlackHistory

What would late civil rights icon and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall say about the current court?
https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.advocate.com/news/thurgood-marshall-current-supreme-court
-
October 2, 1967 - Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, the first African American on the nation's highest court. He was appointed to the Court by President Lyndon Johnson who previously had appointed him Solicitor General, the legal officer in the Justice Department responsible for representing the United States before the Supreme and federal appellate courts. Marshall had been the lead attorney in the Brown v. Board of Education case which led to the end of legal segregation in the nation’s schools.
"None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots."
-
"Our whole constitutional heritage rebels at the thought of giving government the #power to control men’s minds.”
#ThurgoodMarshall, Stanley v. Georgia

While we’re talking about education—and it being free—
let’s remember Thurgood Marshall.On this day in 1967, he became the first Black Supreme Court Justice.
He fought for education not as a commodity, but as a cornerstone of justice.“Education is not the teaching of three R’s. Education is teaching of the overall citizenship—to learn, to live together with fellow citizens…”

It gets predictably worse:
#HarveyMilk is just one of several trailblazers whose name has been identified for possible removal from naval vessels. …they include #ThurgoodMarshall, the first #Black #SCOTUS justice; #RuthBaderGinsburg [#RBG], another Supreme Court justice, who became a feminist icon;

The U.S. Navy is considering renaming naval ships named after civil rights leaders including Harvey Milk, the slain gay rights leader and Navy veteran, Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American Supreme Court justice, and Lucy Stone, the abolitionist and suffragist. Here's more from @CBSNews.

'How A Schoolboy's Punishment Benefited America'

The teacher who punished Thurgood Marshall at school had no idea how that punishment would one day change the social landscape of the United States

"Democracy just cannot flourish amid fear. Liberty cannot bloom amid hate. Justice cannot take root amid rage." — #ThurgoodMarshall #BlackHistory

[Thread] So, it took having to do a search on the website, but I managed to find the #BlackHistoryMonth audio archives on the #WMPG website. Hopefully, the ones from 2025 will also be posted on their website (and the ones already posted won't disappear...).

#OTD 1967, #ThurgoodMarshall was confirmed by US Senate as a US #SupremeCourt Justice, sworn in only 18 days after Pres. Johnson signed the #VotingRightsAct and 13 days after the race riots in Watts.
The great-grandson of slaves, and first ever #AfricanAmerican to serve on the highest court in the land, Marshall had graduated #HowardUniversity law school in 1933. As a lawyer he'd previously won 29 of 32 legal cases argued before #SCOTUS, including Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which ruled school segregation in Topeka KS, and by default elsewhere throughout the USA was not only crappy, but #unconstitutional.His 24 year tenure on the court, included anti discrimination cases and opposition to the death penalty, and service extended through retirement in 1991, with him passing away at the age of 84 in 1993.
-
#ThurgoodMarshall, 1st Black #SCOTUS Justice, was BTD in 1908. Grandson of an enslaved person, he helped end legal segregation, & per author Carl T. Rowan, “no justice ever supported a woman's right to choice as uncompromisingly as Marshall did".
When he retired due to poor health, his seat was filled by (brace yourself) Clarence effing Thomas. 😡"Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on."
-
Today I got the opportunity to re-read the speech #ThurgoodMarshall gave when he was awarded the #LibertyMedal. It's an amazing speech. My favorite paragraph:
"We cannot play ostrich. Democracy just cannot flourish amid fear. Liberty cannot bloom amid hate. Justice cannot take root amid rage. America must get to work. In the chill climate in which we live, we must go against the prevailing wind. We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that has buried its head in the sand, waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and the absence of moral leadership. We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better."

On this day in 1967 Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as the first Black supreme court justice in American history. He was a civil rights lawyer and activist who was widely respected by the legal and activist communities. Our current justices could learn a lot from Thurgood’s 27 years in SCOTUS.

Because so much of #SCOTUS (E.G. #clarencethomas) is trash, here's a real jurist: #ThurgoodMarshall
-
Perpetuating the travesty and NYT is complicit. #ClarenceThomas filed an "updated" financial disclosure report that does nothing but continue the lies he has told for 30+years about the #graft he continues to receive. For all of us who have had to file Real Financial Disclosure Reports annually, subject to multiple layers of review, his #lies are beyond the pale. https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/clarence-thomas-financial-disclosure-2022/9899f63497fcfea9/full.pdf #thurgoodMarshall #SCOTUS #corruption #ethics #integrity #truth #justice #authoritarianism

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
We must dissent from the fear, the hatred, and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that buried its head in the sand waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education, or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and timeless absence of moral leadership. We must dissent, because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better. -Thurgood Marshall, US Supreme Court Justice (1908-1993) -

Sotomayor quotes #ThurgoodMarshall (citation omitted): “There is no better evidence that the Court is overruling the Court’s precedents than those precedents themselves. ‘Every one of the arguments made by the majority can be found in the dissenting opinions filed in [the] cases” the majority now overrules….’” 7/

@GottaLaff @Dahlialith Please remember who placed #ClarenceThomas on #SCOTUS - #GeorgeBush - after the retirement of #ThurgoodMarshall. The #LongGame begun by #Reagan, actively implemented by #GHWBush, #GeorgeWBush and #Trump #orchestrated by the #FederalistSociety brought us to this #crescendo - is American now an #oligarchy?

Some notes on #VictorRay’s #OnCriticalRaceTheory, cc:ing @sociology (18/...)
Let’s pause for a word from #ThurgoodMarshall on the #constitutionality of race-aware policies:
“During most of the past 200 years, the #Constitution, as interpreted by this #Court, did not prohibit the most ingenious and pervasive forms of discrimination against the Negro. Now, when a state acts to remedy the effects of that legacy of discrimination, I cannot believe that the same Constitution stands as a barrier”
