Thurgood Marshall. He made his reputation when he defended the Port Chicago mutineers, black sailors who refused to continue working in the hold of a ship with dangerous explosives that had already blown up and caused some deaths, while their white officers stood safely on the dock out of danger and refused to go below deck. The black sailors saw clearly that their lives were considred expendable.
I suppose that must have been before President Truman integrated the military.
