Synopsis: Thurgood

Thurgood is an acclaimed one-man play about the life of Thurgood Marshall, an American lawyer and civil rights activist who served as associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from October 1967 until October 1991. He was the Court’s first African-American justice, and the plot of the play is his fictional lecture at his alma mater, Howard University Law School. It is a frank, extraordinary look at his journey to influence justice, racial relations, and the law in America.
