Our 200th anniversary may be a day of patriotism for some but for others, the beginning of a long struggle #Nvr4getDaStruggle @ustwistory

[Thurgood Marshall @ThurTooGood4Ya]

Da meaning of da constitution wasn't fixed @ its initial draft, our draft went thru a civil war & many amendments 2 make a #MorePerfectUnion

[Thurgood Marshall @ThurTooGood4Ya]

The omissions in the first draft were not simply a product of their time but continually reaffirm the place of negroes Need #CivilWar4Change

[Thurgood Marshall @ThurTooGood4Ya]

The phrase "We the People" comes under scrutiny and @JusticeTaney finds blacks having no rights dat white men should respect #DreadScottCase

[Thurgood Marshall @ThurTooGood4Ya]

You can see that da word slave is avoided, being replaced with representation based on "free persons" while diregarding #AllMenRCreatedEqual

[Thurgood Marshall @ThurTooGood4Ya]

Slaves weren't counted as "We the People" purely to protect da slave labor dat was da source of da southern state's wealth #MericanGreed

[Thurgood Marshall @ThurTooGood4Ya]

Da man dat wrote da last draft (allowing slavery) called slavery cruel bondage/nefarious practice/defying sacred laws of humanity #TooIronic

[Thurgood Marshall @ThurTooGood4Ya]

When we celebrate the creation of the constitution, we celebrate it's initial flaws. Instead we should look to its evolution #ThruOutDaYears

[Thurgood Marshall @ThurTooGood4Ya]

The Freedoms we now enjoy were not granted by the initial drafting in 1787, but by the amendments in the years to come #changeisThurgood

[Thurgood Marshall @ThurTooGood4Ya]

Why celebr8 da 1st draft of the constitution which left out blacks & women from being apart of "We the People" #mah1stTweetAlreadyTooGood4Ya
