Provocative, inspiring, and unflinchingly honest, My Grandfather's Son is the story of one of America's most remarkable and controversial leaders, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, told in his own words.

Highly Recommended Memoir
Revisado: 08-19-22
What an excellent view into the world of a man who genuinely, albeit sometimes reluctantly, embodied the American dream; proving that integrity & perseverance, along with faith, can empower a life worth living. Justice Thomas' story proves that 'minority status' doesn't equal victimization and doesn't determine outcome. I come away from this book with deep esteem for Justice Thomas, and a modicum of hope that there are still people in the three Branches of government (at least in SCOTUS) who love Liberty and honor the principles of our Founding. Unlike in the biographical, Created Equal, which had a fine performer for narration; this book is narrated by the author himself, Justice Thomas. Narration was not a performance, but rather a humble and somewhat shy recounting of the life Clarence Thomas lived and shared in his memoir.

Born into dire poverty in the segregated South and abandoned by his father as a child, Justice Clarence Thomas triumphed over seemingly insurmountable odds to become one of the most influential justices on the Supreme Court. Yet after three decades of honorable service, few know him beyond his contentious confirmation and the surrounding media firestorm. Who is Justice Clarence Thomas, in his own words? Created Equal builds on dozens of hours of groundbreaking one-on-one interviews with Thomas to share a new, expanded account of his powerful story for the first time.

Enlightening & Moving

Despite my age, I've known nothing of Clarence Thomas other than he's a Constitutional Justice, and the Anita Hill crap from 1991. I jumped into the audio book after watching the movie of the same title. I found the book to be enlightening, and very moving. I now recognize Justice Thomas as a great, and humble, man who truly lived the American dream; creating an honorable life through effort and perseverance, not handouts and affirmative action programs. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys biographical reads, who have an interest in Constitutional law, and/or a desire to learn about this incredible man. Performances were also great for Justice Thomas and his beloved wife, Ginny.
