About this listen

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.

Thomas speaks out, revealing the pieces of his life he holds dear, detailing the suffering and injustices he has overcome, including the polarizing Senate hearing involving a former aide, Anita Hill, and the depression and despair it created in his own life and the lives of those closest to him. In this candid and deeply moving memoir, a quintessential American tale of hardship and grit, Clarence Thomas recounts his astonishing journey for the first time.

Such a compelling story of one of the true originalists on the U.S. Supreme Court and an accurate account of those American Marxists who tried to destroy him, chief of those being Joe Biden. Anita Hill was the original Christine Ballsy Ford and both are accomplished liars.

The title of this review is a direct quote from Judge Thomas during his Senate hearing.

It is sad and comical that the people that purport to represent the minorities only want to hear from them
If they agree with their point of view. These elite only believe in Freedom of Speech as long as you agree with them.

Judge Thomas had the audacity to think for himself and therefore had to be destroyed.

I hope he lives a very, very long and fruitful life.

I liked that he narrated this book himself.

Reading material such as this should be required in order to receive a high school diploma in America.

One of the most inspiring stories I've ever read.

The author mostly talks about his life and his journey from his young life as democrat to his journey to EEOC to the Supreme Court. He doesn't discuss very many cases during his tenure.

Amazing man

Justice Thomas's life is what the American Dream used to mean: hard work, integrity, honesty, anyone can come out of poverty. It is refreshing reading an honest account of one's shortcomings and recognition of the need to do better. It gives me great comfort knowing that someone with his background sits on the Bench.

Lessons we should all learn

I'm so grateful that Mr. Thomas has taken the time to give us an overview of his life and has granted the public access to his most private of information. I'm thankful that he's taken the time and effort to give his account of the events of his life. Humbled to be bestowed such a blessing.
