Thurgood is the inspiring true story of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, an American hero. Full of wit, warmth and wisdom and set at Howard University, it follows his extraordinary life: from his childhood in Baltimore to arguing the landmark 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education, to becoming the first African American Supreme Court justice. His tenacious advocacy bent the arc of history toward justice. It's a tour de force solo piece.
The run has 22 performances at Detroit Public Theatre, 3960 Third Avenue in Detroit, with talkbacks after seven of them.
