In 1991, I had just graduated from college and sat down to watch the confirmation hearing for Justice Thomas confirmation. I watched live his speech which we should all know. It was life changing and the exact time I became a Republican even with many liberal views. What has Clarence Thomas done to warrant a school named after him. He SURVIVED during the 50’s and 60’s as a black man from the depths of poverty and THRIVED. Seemingly, the weight of historical success or contributions can only be measured by liberal ideology and scrutiny? I disagree!

So as a white woman, I am disgusted utterly disgusted with any black American who does not celebrate Justice Thomas, not for his political beliefs, but MORE IMPORTANTLY for his perseverance, his history, his words, his education, his survival, his contributions, his mentoring, his presence as a black man who after all the struggles HE is an example to all black Americans that despite hardships they will never know, HE made it. That’s “what he has done” John.
