The day served as a reminder of the significance of his work and the importance to ensure his legacy.

In this new clip from the film “Marshall” featuring Chadwick Boseman and Josh Gad, see how Marshall’s education affected his career and future, while sparking his passion for justice. Starring Boseman (42, Black Panther) as Thurgood Marshall, Gad (Frozen, Beauty and the Beast) as Sam Friedman, Kate Hudson (Almost Famous) as Eleanor Strubing, Sterling K. Brown (American Crime Story, This Is Us) as Joseph Spell and Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast) as Loren Willis.

Director Reginald Hudlin’s Marshall, is based on an early trial in the career of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. It follows the young lawyer (Chadwick Boseman) to conservative Connecticut to defend a black chauffeur (Sterling K. Brown) charged with sexual assault and attempted murder of his white socialite employer (Kate Hudson). Muzzled by a segregationist court, Marshall partners with a courageous young Jewish lawyer, Samuel Friedman (Josh Gad). Together they mount the defense in an environment of racism and Anti-Semitism. The high profile case and the partnership with Friedman served as a template for Marshall’s creation of the NAACP legal defense fund.
