Martin Luther King Jr. and Thurgood Marshall were both great African American civil rights leaders, but they endorsed differing approaches. King, a preacher, advocated civil disobedience (peaceful protest) and was jailed for his efforts. Thurgood Marshall, a lawyer, brought legal actions in court instead. Marshall filed numerous lawsuits on behalf of African Americans who were denied their rights, taking many cases to the Supreme Court. Marshall was the winning lawyer in Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 case declaring school segregation unconstitutional. When King began leading protests and boycotts, Marshall disapproved of his breaking the law. But Marshall, who worked for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), used NAACP funds to bail out King's followers.
