Most people know Thurgood Marshall as a towering figure of intellectual and legal authority, and as the first African-American to sit on the Supreme Court. But few know about his years as a courageous civil rights lawyer. Now one of his little-known but impressive victories is chronicled on the big screen in the new movie "Marshall," which stars Chadwick Boseman as Thurgood Marshall. Callie Crossley speaks with "Marshall" director Reginald Hudlin about how the movie was made and the history surrounding the Connecticut case featured in the movie.
