Review on ITunes
Mr. Hartmann’s points re. Thurgood Marshall are in the right spirit. It is not, however, the case that Thurgood Marshall was Solicitor General at the time of Brown v. Board. He was the chief lawyer for the NAACP.
LBJ named him the first African-American Solicitor General in 1965, and elevated him to the Supreme Court in 1967.
