Title: Clarence Thomas Memoir "My Grandfather's Son"
Post by: Baruch Menachem on September 06, 2008, 04:03:47 PM
 A very interesting memoir.  I am only part way through it, where he changed schools to Holy Cross in 1968.  It is hard to understand just how miserable things were down there. 

I also read a bio of Rice a while ago. I admire them twice as much for their iron self control.  I couldn't done anything like that.

All those people who mocked Thomas years ago, I disdain them twice as  much now.   He had a really long hard slog to get where he was.  I just got to the part where he is in college, furiously angry with the racism that he grew up with.
