I recognized another man whose picture I'd seen in the newspapers: the famous lawyer Thurgood Marshall, the man who had delivered the argument that resulted in the Supreme Court's 1954 school integration ruling.
Read the passage.I boarded the ship in the hopes that there might be a home for me across the ocean. I longed for a home where I could express my spiritual beliefs without persecution.
