[1] The following is a review I wrote for [2] “My Grandfather’s Son” By Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas….

Clarence Thomas will forever be remembered for the “high tech lynching” he survived at the hands of liberal senators during his 1991 confirmation hearing. It’s sad that that will be his legacy, because his life story is facsinating. In this book he writes of the struggles of growing up dirt poor in Georgia with a single mom, who eventually sends him to be raised by [1] his hard working, independent minded grandfather, who molded him into the man he is today. Thomas writes with brevity and clarity hitting the highlights, and lowlights of his life. His first marriage, divorce, 2nd marriage, early struggles with race issues, college, law school, and secular career. He even addresses the Anita Hill issue in a very convincing and believable way. The book was much shorter than I thought it would be (I was able to read it in a day)—but what it lacked in girth, it made up for in profundity. I would highly recommend this great story of the American dream fulfilled by a man of integrity and judicial brilliance.
