I will be forever grateful for the lifetime of sacrifices made by the heroes of the civil rights movement, particularly Thurgood Marshall, whose intellect, wisdom and intense devotion to constitutional law saved so many lives and forced us all to think differently. Finally, I am grateful you decided to research and retell this story so that we might never forget the gross injustices of the past in order that they will never be a part of our future. Sincerely, Anne Pattillo Kail
