Plaintiff attorney Thurgood Marshall

It seems notable enough that Thurgood Marshall's participation in this landmark case as the lead plaintiff attorney ought to be noted in the main box on the right.

I second this. Not only did he argue the case, the entire case was the capstone of a lengthy litigation strategy running from Shelley v. Kraemer through Painter v. Sweatt and then up to Brown.Lukacris (talk) 06:49, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 12 December 2017

As far as I can tell from the oral arguements transcrits, Thurgood Marshall did not argue Brown vs Board of Education. Robert L. Carter did. Marshall only argued Briggs vs Elliott. https://www.lib.umich.edu/brown-versus-board-education/oralarguments.htm https://www.lib.umich.edu/brown-versus-board-education/oral/Carter&Wilson.pdf Alex.posti (talk) 00:24, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unanimous Opinion and Consensus Building on 27 March 2018

Under the Unanimous opinion and consensus building header, remove the sentence: "The Chief's reliance on shoddy social science is widely seen as irresponsible." in the fourth paragraph. This is an opinion and is not verifiable. No citation has been presented since the label was added in December 2017. Senuto (talk) 00:58, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Big overgrown negroes

The quote attributed to Pres. Eisenhower "All they are concerned about is to see that their sweet little girls are not required to sit in school alongside some big overgrown Negroes" is not actually what he said. He said "All they are concerned about is to see that their sweet little girls are not required to sit in school alongside some big black bucks.”

The language is certainly not what one normally puts in Wikipedia, but the crudeness of the comment was part of why Warren pushed so hard for a strong unanimous decision.
