This one man show would have even been better if it weren't told looking out at an audience but rather with a full cast.
That being said, this is an excellent biography of Thurgood Marshall's life. Laurence Fishburne is extraordinary as Thurgood Marshall, as he relates the Justice's life to some very crucial historical times.
President Eisenhower and Gen. MacArthur are not made out to be the best in terms of civil rights for minorities.
We see the life of Marshall being totally committed to law and justice for all citizens of our great country. You really come to agree with Marshall's decisions of the day. From Brown v. Board of Topeka, Ks. (1954) which declared the actions of the Court in Plessy v. Ferguson (1956) to be unconstitutional, Marshall and the other men on the court proved their true mettle by their actions. Certainly, we see Marshall heap praise on Earl Warren as Chief Justice in the Brown Decision.
This was a very good show as Fishburne totally captures the man.
