Essay Prompt:
The Thurgood Marshall Clerkship Program was created to honor the legacy of former Supreme Court
Justice Thurgood Marshall. A product of segregated West Baltimore, Thurgood Marshall attended Frederick
Douglass High School and later went on to graduate from Lincoln University and Howard University
School of Law. Throughout the course of his legal career, Justice Marshall was a champion for civil rights
and equal opportunities in education, housing and employment. Prior to being named as the first African-
American to sit on the Supreme Court of the United States, Justice Marshall argued and won landmark cases
which resulted in the integration of the University of Maryland School of Law and public schools across the
United States. His legacy is one of courage, tenacity and excellence.
What in your background or life experiences allows you to relate to Thurgood Marshall and/or his legacy?
