Good FJ; I should have known it cold. I had the right idea but said Thurgood Marshall who, I think, was the lead attorney and not a plaintiff.
Only stumpers that surprised me were the Irish playwright and the national park.
I thought Cris was about to be defeated, too, but congrats to him on another successful win!
Wow! That game was tense to watch. I was wondering if it was going to be curtains for Cris. I was certain he didn’t know fj but that Poker face fooled me again.
I got the information that Oliver Brown’s wife was not the plaintiff Darlene Brown from this Feb. 2022 article in which Oliver Brown’s daughter says a lot of stuff written about her father on the internet is not true. She mentions her mother, Leola, by name and also says that from an alphabetical perspective, Darlene Brown should have been the lead plaintiff, but her father was chosen because of his gender.
I was looking forward to a new champion being crowned today.
That will be at the end of the season, in my opinion.
