Marshall Was Politician upon Arrival from South Africa
     Margaret Marshall was already a politician, who came from an affluent home where blacks were only servants, when she first arrived here at 26 to denounce her native country. Although everyone knew of the serious problems in her homeland that had to be corrected, she gained instant fame as an attractive, young female by immediately going on the political circuit in America and attacking her own country. She did not convince the blacks in the U.S. that she really had their interests at heart and not her own. This came back to haunt her when she was first nominated to the SJC. Marshall says she is a civil rights leader: against apartheid in her home country, against discrimination of women in the U.S. and now against discrimination of homosexuals in the U.S. However, no impartial, public discussion of her momentous, historic decision was ever allowed in her presence, except for 15-minutes by an Assistant Attorney General, who was treated in a rude and nasty manner and first interrupted when she was only 8 seconds into her allotted time.
