Milwaukee, Wisconsin, March 5, 1976, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. Appointed by
President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 2, 1967, Thurgood Marshall (1908-1993)
was the first Black American Associate Justice to sit on the U.S. Supreme
Court (1967-1991). As Associate Justice, Marshall supported First Amendment
rights, opposed the death penalty and argued against any form of discrimination.
Previously, as legal director for the NAACP, he had argued the
landmark Civil Rights case, Brown v. Board of Education (1954), before
the Supreme Court. Marshall won the case, resulting in the outlawing of
racial segregation in public schools. Lightly creased, slightly rippled at
cachet. Fine condition.
