eyeApplaud: Thurgood Marshall College Fund

Support us and we shall grow; especially in times like these when our voices being heard is necessary. Considering the changes that may loom on the political front, its imperative that we support and promote progress and philanthropy. The Thurgood Marshall College Fund epitomizes that. The philanthropy was founded more than 20 years ago, with the objective of providing assistance to people attending the 47 Historical Black Colleges and Law Schools nationwide. The fund held its 23rd Annual Awards Dinner recently in New York City. The event featured the Guest of Honor Patti Labelle, co-hosts Anthony Anderson and Nicey Nash, Anika Noni Rose, Laura Izibor, and more.

eyeapplaud: Fishburne in 'Thurgood'

In one hour and 30 minutes, acclaimed actor Lawrence Fishburne moves an audience in his portrayal of the first Black Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall.

Through August 8^th, Fishburne will place himself in the bold personality of the public figure at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles, California, helping us to understand what it was like to endure a continuous struggle between the government and individual states.

What’s more is that for a story so powerful, the production is very simple. Fishburne wears a plain suit until the end when he sports judicial robes, and stands in front of a long wooden table, with occasional clips to help support what he says.

His performance is conscious and flawless.

In my opinion, I think Thurgood wouldn’t have adjourned this case.
