Best-selling author Wil Haygood talks about his new book, “Showdown: Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court Nomination That Changed America.”
The book profiles the first African American Supreme Court justice using the contentious five-day Senate hearing to confirm Marshall in 1967 as a framing device for his life story.
Best known as the author of the New York Times bestseller “The Butler: A Witness to History,” Haygood has written several biographies, including “King of Cats: The Life and Times of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.,” “In Black and White: The Life of Sammy Davis, Jr.” and “Sweet Thunder: The Life and Times of Sugar Ray Robinson.”
The session was moderated by John Maynard, of the Newseum.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
