One typewritten document entitled, "Remarks of Thurgood Marshall at the Annual Seminar of the San Fracisco Patent and Trademark Law Association in Maui, Hawaii" dated May 6, 1987. Details that the Constitution was not written with enslaved people in mind, goes into the language of the document which omits the words "slave," "slavery," and "free Persons." Asks that the centennial in Philadelphia that year be not only celebrative but also considerate of the limited freedoms in the history of African Americans.

Marshall, Thurgood, 1908-1993
