Thomas survives life and nomination hearings
cont'd from page one
Baffled ty his incon¬
sistency, we are
forced to examine his
past to find the source
of his ideology.
Born in rural Geor¬
gia, Thomas is the
product of a broken
home. His father
abandoned hi s preg¬
nant mothe r, Thomas
and his sister. After
their house burned
down, his mother
moved her family
around the corner
from her parents
house. Soon after,
Thomas and his
younger brother
moved in with their
grandparents. Grow¬
ing up in his grand¬
father s household,
he was taught
School, discipline,
hard work and
right.-f rom- wrong
were of tne highest
priorities, Thomas
said in a 1987 speech.
This philosophy -was
reiterated by the
Franciscan nuns at St.
Benedi6t the Tttoor,
the . elementary
school he attended.
Tteased as a child, his
Black neighbors
nicknamed him ABC-
America s Blackest
Child and irede fun of
his hair ty calling it
Nigger naps.
After grade school,
he attended 2 differ¬
ent high schools
where he excelled
academically. During
his stay in one of the
high school s dormi¬
tory, white class¬
mates would remark
at lights out Smile,
Clarence so we can see
you.
In 196?, Thomas
dropped out of semi¬
nary school, after a
racial incident in¬
volving a fellow stu¬
dent, shattering: his
dreams of becoming
a priest.
In 1968, he attended
Holy Cross and was
said to he active in tha
black nationalist
movement. .
In 1971, he was ac¬
cepted to Yale where
later it was apparent
that he'had been ac¬
cepted on the basis of
the color of his skin.
Also in the same year,
ihe married his black
college sweetheart,
Kathy, his first wife.
After Yale, he worked
with future senator,
John Danforth, who
he now claims to be
his mentor .
In 1980, former
president Ronald
Reagan hired Thomas
to head the Civil
Rights in Education
Department. Previ¬
ously, he told the
Washington Post that
his career would be
irreparably ruined
if he worked for any
agency that dealt with
civil rights issues.
Months later he ac¬
cepted a position
from Reagan to head
the Equal Employ¬
ment • Opportunity
Council.
' la 1961, when he
and his wife .Kathy di¬
vorced, S| "''?& was
granted -full"custody
of their only child,
Jeraal. j ' ' ! * '*-*">.
In - 1987, he mat and
married his second
wife, Virginia, who is
white, a spokesperson
for .the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce.
In 1989, President
Bush nominated Tho¬
mas to the federal ap¬
peals court in Wash¬
ington D.C.
According to U.S.
News and World Re¬
ports, if confirmed,
Thcnas and the other
members of the Su¬
preme Court will have
a full docket when in
it s next term. Among
those cases scheduled
to be heard are:
Abortion laws- their
first case will be over
Operation Rescue s
possible ban from
blocking access to
clinics. They will also
hear law cases from
Guam, Louisiana, and
Utah.
Race Bias- cases will
be heard that deal
with public univer¬
sity desegeration.
"i. Other cases include
criminal laws, envi-
ronraental issues, and
- hate crime laws.
In the shadow of one
of the moot legereJaiy
black men in Ameri¬
can |history, Thomas
must realize that he
most fill enormous
shoes. Can Thomas
cany the torch lit by
Marshall or will his
presence let it flicker
out?
