Title:
Thurgood Marshall Signed Autograph Cut – PSA/DNA Certified Authentic #85750948

Description:
Offered here is a signed autograph cut bearing the signature of Thurgood Marshall, penned in dark ink across a cream-colored card. The signature is well-centered and clearly legible, displaying Marshall’s characteristic flowing script. The cut exhibits minor corner handling and a small crease at the lower left, consistent with age and prior mounting, but remains in overall strong presentational condition.

The autograph has been professionally authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA. The item is housed in a PSA slab labeled: “CUT – Thurgood Marshall – PSA/DNA Certified Authentic,” with certification number 85750948. The encapsulation both preserves the signature and ensures long-term protection, maintaining clarity and integrity within the secure holder.

Historical Context:
Thurgood Marshall (1908–1993) was a pioneering civil rights attorney and the first African American Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Before his historic appointment in 1967 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, Marshall served as chief counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and successfully argued the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. His legal advocacy and subsequent tenure on the Supreme Court left an indelible mark on American constitutional law and the civil rights movement.

A signed example of Marshall’s autograph represents not only the personal hand of a Supreme Court Justice, but also a tangible connection to one of the most transformative legal figures of the twentieth century.
