Ohio Law School Purges Chief Justice John Marshall From Its Name Because He Owned Slaves
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer; Henrietta Fore, director of the U.S. Mint; and Frank Jones, president of the Supreme Court Historical Society hold a ceremony to unveil the Chief Justice John Marshall Silver Dollar at the Supreme Court Upper Great Hall in Washington, D.C., on May 4, 2005.
