Fred Gray represented Rosa Parks 70 years ago. Now 94, he fears US is 'going backwards' "... If one person can come and change everything, then we (as a nation) are in serious trouble," said Gray.

“On the 70th anniversary of the Bus Boycott, Gray said the most important thing for people to do, aside from continuing to fight for civil rights, is for people to know their history, and use it to impact the future.”

Thurgood Marshall and Cecilia S. Marshall on October 2, 1967

Straight from the family archives. A quiet moment from the day Justice Marshall made history, October 2, 1967, when he was sworn in as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. #thurgoodmarshall #mrcivilrights #thurgoodmarshallfoundation
