After launching his legal career in Baltimore in 1935\, Marshall went on to win 29 of the 32 cases he argued before the U.S. Supreme Court\, most notably the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case\, which invalidated the “separate but equal” doctrine and ended racial segregation in public schools. In 1967\, Marshall became the first African American appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court\, where he served until his retirement in 1991. Becoming Thurgood: America’s Social Architect includes exclusive interviews with family members\, leading historians and authors\, and legal experts who offer fresh insights into the life and extraordinary influence of the man who became known as “Mr. Civil Rights.” \n\n\n\nExecutive produced by Emmy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Stanley Nelson and MPT Senior Vice President and Chief Content Officer Travis Mitchell\, the film is produced and directed by Alexis Aggrey\, with music by two-time Grammy Award-winning composer Derrick Hodge. “For the first time\, audiences will hear Thurgood Marshall tell his own story – in his own words\,” said director and producer Alexis Aggrey. “This film is the first to center Marshall’s own voice\, drawn from a rare eight-hour oral history. It’s not just a documentary; it’s a conversation with a man whose legal mind reshaped the nation and whose legacy still echoes through our justice system today.” \n\n\n\nNote: reservations strongly recommended due to limited seating.This film is not yet rated; Run Time: 1 hourThere will also be a talkback after the film screening with members of the production team. \n\n\n\n\nView the Discussion Guide for the Film.
