Please revisit this page soon for reflections of Thurgood Marshall by prominent community leaders and advocates
"It is an honor and sincere privilege to work for a company based on the motivations and merits of its namesake. The efforts made by Thurgood Marshall is a true daily inspiration and reminder of how much African-American leaders have contributed to our daily lives. I encourage every young person in America and beyond to learn about the life and legacy of Thurgood Marshall and to take full advantage of the opportunities he has afforded all of us. " Bart M. Williams, Jr.
"Justice Marshall made it possible for all of us to learn without restrictions, therefore, his legacy lives on. I applaud TMCF for bringing this "labor of love" to light to further his causes and educate the masses on how he made a difference." Will Davison Jr.
"Words cannot adequately describe the impact of Thurgood Marshall's legacy in my life. Without a doubt, the road to any modest success or achievement I have obtained and will ever obtain has been made easier by the sacrifices and selflessness of this great figure in our American history. If asked to delineate the single most important gift bestowed upon me by Thurgood Marshall's legacy, it would be defined as, the belief in a positive outcome in one's life, i.e. HOPE! Hope for a future filled with greatness. Hope for a path well worn for those to come. Hope for remembrance, respect, and admiration for those whose shoulders we now stand upon. And hope for a nation to live up to its promise...To you, Mr. Thurgood Marshall, I am forever in your debt." Jeremy Scott Crawford, Esq. (Cisco)
"It is truly an honor to work for an organization that represents the legacy of the late Justice Thurgood Marshall: equal, quality education for all. Witnessing how what we do on the back end affects student lives and careers makes me proud to play a role in their success. As a member of the TMCF family I am commissioned to ensuring that his legacy lives on!" Lisa J. Van Putten
"Justice Thurgood Marshall once stated, "None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots." It has been the life and legacy of Thurgood Marshall that has helped us by picking up our boots by the means of the remarkable cases he won and the prolific words that have inspired generations. As a TMCF staff member, I share in the honor of to being a part of an organization that represents the life and legacy of such a great man. Lets continue the legacy by helping the students." Crystal D. Hadnott
