The film explores Justice Marshall's journey from his birth in Baltimore, Maryland, to his studies at Lincoln and Howard universities—two leading Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)—and his history-making career as a jurist, to his groundbreaking career as a lawyer championing civil rights and dismantling school segregation, culminating in his appointment to the Supreme Court in 1967.
