8) In the ?hood when Thurgood was growing up, lighter skin was better than darker skin…
Although his parents were mulattos and, therefore, his skin was light, he refused to take part in black-against-black prejudice
Accepted cases even if clients could not pay…civil rights, not money, was reason he in business
“Equal means getting the same thing, at the same time and in the same place.”
“If anybody calls you a nigger, you not only got my permission to fight him – you got my orders.”
First African American Solicitor General and Justice to sit on the Court
Waiter on railroad: U.S. Senator wants service and keeps calling Thurgood ?nigger’…His father hears this and said, “Thurgood, you are a disgrace to the colored people!” Thurgood didn’t mind much because when Senator was done he left $20 tips… “Any time you wanna call me ?nigger,’ you just put your $20 on this table. And you can keep doing it all day. But the second you run outta them 20’s, I’m gonna bust you in the nose.”
