My Take
Carrying the name of a civil rights icon and Supreme Court Justice cannot be easy, yet Thurgood Marshall Jr. built a substantial career of his own. A University of Virginia law graduate, he served in the Clinton White House, chaired the Postal Service Board of Governors, and sat on the Ford Foundation's board. What strikes me is how he channeled his inheritance into quiet public service rather than chasing the spotlight. I have real sympathy for anyone living under such a towering legacy, and admiration for those who answer it with steady, principled work. He seems to me a person of genuine substance.
