With Justice for All: While other U.S. Justices talked about justice in a divided
America, by D. J. Herda
Author's Representative:
Faye M. Swetky 435-656-0426
Other Books in Series:
The Book in One Sentence: Long before Rev. Martin Luther King came along, equality's real champion came out fighting for the underdog.
Blurb/Logline: From a housing-development childhood through college and law school, one man stands out as America's first great champion for civil rights. Barely making ends meet for he and his family, Thurgood Marshall took a cut in pay in order to go to work for the NAACP. While there, he was determined to prove a point--that blacks in America were being discriminated against ... and that that discrimination had to end. Soon!
"With Justice for All: Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court is a touching, moving, feel-good story about a remarkable man told by an equally remarkable author. Herda captures Marshall's true essence perhaps better than anyone before. This is going to make a prize-winning novel and a monumental film. This one has Spike Lee's name all over it." - Don Bacue, International Features Syndicate
