Product Details
Overview
Vivian “Buster” Burey Marshall helped shape history, though her name is rarely mentioned alongside the civil rights movement she supported so deeply.
As the first wife of future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, Vivian stood beside him during the earliest and most challenging years of his fight for justice. While Thurgood pursued his legal career, Vivian worked multiple jobs to help pay for his law school tuition and supported the movement by organizing and working with fellow civil rights activists. Her belief in equality and justice helped sustain their shared dream of challenging racial injustice in America.
During one of the most critical moments in civil rights history—the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case—Vivian faced a personal battle of her own. Diagnosed with cancer, she chose not to share the news with Thurgood until after the ruling, determined not to distract him from the historic fight before the Supreme Court. Behind the Bench: The Untold Story of Vivian Marshall finally brings this remarkable woman's story into the light, honoring her courage, dedication, and lasting impact on the struggle for civil rights.
