Answer:

Thurgood Marshall was the first black justice of the Supreme Court.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thurgood Marshall, born in 1908, was an African-American lawyer who, in 1967, became the first African-American justice of the Supreme Court. He was appointed by President Lyndon Johnson, and from his position he marked a new era of diversity and cultural acceptance that became after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
