It was Thurgood Marshall (1908-1993).

He became the first African American lawyer to be confirmed as a judge of the Supreme Court in 1967. He remained in the court for 24 years. He left a legacy of upholding the constitutional rights of the individual. In the early years of his career, he established a reputation of being the "lawyer of the little man" and he also was a member of the NACCP.
