Thurgood Marshall, first African-American Justice on the Supreme Court. This was an enormous achievement in and of itself, but Marshall is one of my heroes because his law career involved advocating for the least of these. He won the fabled case of Brown v. Topeka Board of Education (1954), which dismantled the "separate but equal" policy established by Plessy v. Ferguson in the late 1800's. (I can't figure out how to italicize the court cases; that is bugging me.) Micah sometimes tells m...

Two icons: Billie Holiday and William Faulkner, photographed in 1956 by Moneta Sleet Jr. According to Donald Clarke's 2009 biography of Ms. Holiday, she was initially wary about meeting Mr. Faulkner because he was a Southerner. She called her friend, the singer Thelma Carpenter and asked about him. Ms. Carpenter said the meeting was likely set up by Bill Dufty, ghostwriter for "Lady Sings the Blues" and that the singer and the writer "got along beautifully... he understood her perfectly."
