Early Life and Education
Marshall developed a profound belief in democracy and justice as an avid student of history. His life-long learning drew inspiration from leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr and Robert Kennedy who championed equality among society.
He attended Lincoln University and Howard University Law School before becoming chief counsel of the NAACP and representing important civil rights cases before the Supreme Court such as Brown vs. Board of Education (1954) which led to desegregation in public schools.
Marshak examines the shared visions of three influential teachers – Rudolf Steiner, Aurobindo and Inayat Khan – as a starting point to show how these ideas have been implemented globally and children raised and educated today based on this perspective.

He leads the Foundation Medicine team that performs comprehensive genomic sequencing for cancer patients and matches them to targeted therapies, immunotherapies and clinical trials. He is widely respected in his field and an industry thought leader.
