They take a journey down memory lane through the books he wrote, but dive deepest into Showdown, a book about famed lawyer and Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall and his impact on America. Wil gives an in depth look at key parts of his book, why he chose it for his presentation, and shares anecdotes about the good fortune he's received since writing it. Wil Haygood is the broadway distinguished scholar-in-residence in the department of media, journalism & film at Miami University. Special thanks to our sponsor, LawPay.
