- Description
- This scene in the mural shows school integration beginning to unfold. In the middle of the composition, Thurgood Marshall, the lawyer who argued Brown v. Board of Education (1954) on behalf of the NAACP and later the first Black Supreme Court justice, cradles two Black children in a fatherly posture. To the right, Black children climb over barriers to enter a newly integrated school. A pillar inscribed with the words “Equal Justice Under Law,” the key clause of the 14th Amendment that was used to overturn school segregation, stands tall.
