Before joining high court, Thurgood Marshall made history in Detroit | Free Press Flashback Ken Coleman © AP Thurgood Marshall Supreme Court Justice Thirty years ago this week, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the great-grandson of a slave and the first African American to sit on the nation s high court, announced his retirement after nearly a quarter century on the Supreme Court.
