Teachers can use the Thurgood Marshall Body Biography Project® to help students explore the courage, intellect, and lasting influence of the first African American Supreme Court Justice and one of the most important civil rights leaders of the 20th century.
This project encourages reading and critical thinking as students illustrate Marshall’s early life, his landmark work with the NAACP, his victorious argument in Brown v. Board of Education, his commitment to equal protection under the law, and his profound impact on civil rights, constitutional law, and American justice.
It offers an engaging, student-centered way to examine civil rights history, segregation and desegregation, constitutional law, civic responsibility, and the fight for equality — while integrating social studies, ELA, and creative expression.
