The Gibson-Banks Center for Race and the Law featured in The Maryland Carey Law Summer 2024 Magazine

Maryland Carey Law Summer 2024 Magazine

The Maryland Carey Law Summer 2024 Magazine highlights the important work of The Gibson-Banks Center for Race and the Law, named after our esteemed Of Counsel Larry S. Gibson and Taunya Lovell Banks, both legendary and influential legal scholars and the first Black man and Black woman to become tenured full professors at the law school.  

A historian of the civil rights movement, Larry authored Young Thurgood, a detailed biography studying Thurgood Marshall’s early years in Maryland. He is working on the companion volume, which will examine Marshall’s life from 1938 to 1954. Rather than format the book chronologically, Gibson tells Marshall’s story geographically with chapters on each of the Southern states where Marshall made an impact.
