Charles Hamilton Houston
Best known as “the man who killed Jim Crow,” Houston was a lawyer, activist and educator. One of the first to challenge the controversial “separate but equal” doctrine, Houston was involved in nearly every civil rights-related case to hit Supreme Court doors from 1930-1954. His impact in the judicial system inspired many Black male lawyers, and he also mentored one of the greats, Thurgood Marshall, who would later become the first African-American judge on the Supreme Court.
