        I'm not sure many people understand what an audacious and bold choice Thurgood Marshall was -- he wasn't just an exceptionally well-qualified African American lawyer. He was THURGOOD MARSHALL, who had struck fear in white racists for years.

        I watched the movie last night. It was excellent. Justice Marshall was truly a brilliant and dedicated person and American. I was too young at the time to appreciate his efforts and results. Very glad I kno about him now. Watch the movie. Inspiring.

        And or @jmeacham I finally watch the movie "Marshall" this weekend. It was great! Now I want to read more about him. Any recommendations on books about him?

        "Thurgood", the play is better than the "Marshall" movie. There is a recorded one on #HBO with #LaurenceFishburne in the title role.

        And he managed to get Judge Marshall in place before Nixon got in. A smart move and a great choice.

        68 was, and it was a pretty safe bet that Nixon wouldn't be up for a progressive pick.
