Thurgood follows the remarkable career of the man who would become the very first Black Supreme Court Justice in American history, Thurgood Marshall. Starting with his early days working as a young lawyer on the cornerstone Brown v. Board case in favor of overturning existing "separate but equal" legislation, this one man tour-de-force showcases the courage, integrity, and determination that skyrocketed a humble civil rights activist into becoming a true American hero.
