(2) K-3 Illustrated by Bryan Collier. Thurgood Marshall, the first African American Supreme Court Justice, was a skilled debater and orator from a young age. As a young lawyer, Marshall sharpened his disgust about unjust laws into irrefutable evidence to prove that separate is not equal. In engaging, accessible prose, Winter presents facts of Marshall's life as if presenting a court case. Repeated words--"FACT," "VERDICT"; "JUSTICE," "INJUSTICE"--mark defining moments; vernacular phrases create a more conversational tone. Collier's sometimes shadowy art reflects the violence and chaos that permeated Marshall's everyday life. An author's note presents more about Marshall work.
