You may be asking who argued Brown v. Board of Education,(1954) before the US Supreme Court. The lead counsel for the Petitioner (Brown, et al.) was Thurgood Marshall, who later became the first African-American to serve on the Court.Attorney Charles Hamilton Houston, former Dean of Howard University Law School, hired Marshall to work with the NAACP. Thurgood Marshall later became a founder of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, an independent, but related, arm of the national organization responsible for much of the legal battle for African-Americans' civil rights.The NAACP and the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund brought many cases to the US Supreme Court under the leadership of prominent African-American attorneys. Thurgood Marshall was, perhaps, the best remembered by history, but was by no means the only lawyer working for civil rights, nor was Brown the only case the NAACP sponsored.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
