After graduating from Howard, Thurgood Marshall took on the Murray v. Pearson case against the University of Maryland Law School. Marshall sued the school for denying admission to any African American applicants on the basis of race. He argued that it violated the 14th Amendment. He joined the NAACP as a staff lawyer and became one of the nation’s leading attorneys. He had argued 32 cases before the Supreme Court and won 29 according to the NAACP. Thurgood Marshall’s civil rights litigation work continues even to today.
