Martin Luther King Jr. and Thurgood Marshall were both great African American civil rights
leaders, but they endorsed differing approaches. King, a preacher, advocated civil
disobedience (peaceful protest) and was jailed for his efforts. Thurgood Marshall, a
lawyer, brought legal actions in court instead. Marshall filed numerous lawsuits on behalf
of African Americans who were denied their rights, taking many cases to the Supreme
Court. Marshall was the winning lawyer in Brown . Board of Education, the 1954 case
declaring school segregation unconstitutional. When King began leading protests and
boycotts, Marshall disapproved of his breaking the law. But Marshall, who worked for the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), used NAACP funds
to bail out King's followers.
