40 years of work at howard university, yale, pennsylvania and the law schools had basically patterned, fashioned the path to freedom. and there was probably more tension between martin luther king and thurgood marshall than there was between martin luther king and lyndon johnson because thurgood marshall did not -- he felt very uncomfortable with us breaking the law. the concept of civil disobedience was not something he adhered to. but actually the first time i read an article about civil disobedience was written by harris wofford in the howard university law review. and i always thought he was black.
