‘Marshall’ shows a young Thurgood full of flash & swagger before his Supreme Court tenure.

Before he became the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court, Thurgood Marshall moved from town to town as part of the NAACP to represent black defendants in a justice system rampant with discrimination. Jeffrey Brown sits down with director Reginald Hudlin and actor Chadwick Boseman to discuss their new film “Marshall,” and how they captured the iconic judge in his youth.
