Digital Resource Process, Connor McIntyre

I began my research by going through the footnote section in the back of "Black is a Country" by Nikhil Pal Singh. Nothing stood out and appealed to me, so feeling hopeless, I looked at the NAACP Paper Research Database that Professor David Busch had provided to us. I went through multiple legal cases and noticed two names consistently pop up or be referenced: Charles Hamilton Houston, and Thurgood Marshall. After doing research on both men, I decided to keep my research limited to Thurgood Marshall because he had a more interesting career to me. They both worked as lawyers, but Marshall was also in the Supreme Court. Afterwards, I merely Googled, Thurgood Marshall (and many scrolling and viewing of websites later), I finally came across an image from the Library of Congress, and a biography of him. This biography had a quote from Marshall, which I was interested in, which then led me to the 'Remarks of Thurgood Marshall' page.
