Which excerpt from the passage “Equal Justice Under Law”: Thurgood Marshall” most effectively illustrates that Marshall rightfully earned the title “Mr. Civil Rights”?

"Soon, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) asked him to join their legal team."

"Back in Baltimore, he became known as “the little man’s lawyer,” often taking on cases without being paid."

"Marshall left law school eager to win justice for his people."

"He helped organize a boycott of businesses that refused to hire African Americans."
