oct 2, 1967 - Thurgood Marshall Appointed as First Black Supreme Court Justice

Description:

With all of Civil Rights movements going on and near complete at this point, Thurgood Marshall is appointed as first black Supreme Court justice. Now a black person is interpreting the Constitution, and this moment is likely the final nail in the coffin of skin-based, socially accepted inequality, marking a success in the rights and liberty of everyone in the country (read: the amendments related to Civil Rights are open to all groups).
