A dynamic performance by Laurence Fishburne brings to life the stirring story of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall in this filmed version of a one-man play by George Stevens Jr. As portrayed by the Tony-nominated Fishburne, Marshall is an enthralling raconteur, by turns passionate, witty, and inspiring as he recounts the major episodes of his life: his formative years in Baltimore, his triumph in arguing for school desegregation in Brown v. Board of Education, and his groundbreaking appointment to the court. Thursday, Feb. 24, at 9 p.m., HBO
