Answer
Thurgood Marshall fought for the end of racial segregation in public schools. In 1954, he argued the case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka before the Supreme Court. The Court ruled that segregation of public schools was unconstitutional. This was a major victory for the civil rights movement and helped to pave the way for the desegregation of schools and other public facilities.
