Thurgood Marshall was one of the country's greatest jurists and civil rights advocates, but he was also a gifted storyteller who liked to leaven even a serious tale with a sprinkling of humor. With his keen intelligence and wit, he was a source of inspiration for the young lawyers who worked in his chambers. In a video prepared by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts in recognition of African American History Month, five of Marshall’s former clerks share their recollections of the legal mastermind behind the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision who went on to become America’s first African American Supreme Court justice. The video was created in partnership with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, where Marshall served before his elevation to the high court. (08:30)

In American politics, the Southern strategy was a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans. As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South who had traditionally supported the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party. It also helped to push the Republican Party much more to the right. (31:51)

In 1955, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that public schools should be racially integrated, and overturned the separate but equal doctrine established in Plessy vs. Ferguson decades before. This was made possible by a concerted legal effort spearheaded by the NAACP. Beginning in the 1930s, the NAACP's legal defense fund (led by Thurgood Marshall at the time of the Brown Decision) pursued a strategy of bringing cases to court that would expand the civil rights of Black Americans. This multi-decade effort culminated in the Brown decision, with many other victories along the way. (12:28)
