Marshall doesn't focus on one of Thurgood’s most important cases, nor does it focus on his time as a supreme court Justice. Instead it focuses on one of the smaller cases he won, one that occurred in Connecticut. When one thinks of the civil rights movement, the south comes up. But the North also segregated

Newspapers, commercials, posters, magazines, fliers, reality shows, and cartoons only name a few of our everyday interaction with the media (Scholar, C.2011). However, these standards presented by media send a false perception of women, thus portraying women in a negative and disrespectful manner. Society views woman as mentally, morally, and
