Description:
The Black Student Alliance at Virginia Tech and Virginia Tech Union present "Marshall: The Movie" on Wednesday, February 21, 2018 at the Haymarket Theater within the Squires Studio Theatre.

Watch "Marshall", a movie about Thurgood Marshall, a former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, during his younger days.

Young Thurgood Marshall faces one of his greatest challenges while working as a lawyer for the NAACP. Marshall travels to conservative Connecticut when wealthy socialite Eleanor Strubing accuses black chauffeur Joseph Spell of sexual assault and attempted murder. He soon teams up with Sam Friedman, a local Jewish lawyer who's never handled a criminal case. Together, the two men build a defense while contending with racist and anti-Semitic views from those who deem Spell to be guilty.

The 2017 film is rated PG-13 and stars Chadwick Boseman, Josh Gad and Kate Hudson.
