This is not meant to be political in any way - I am just bringing this to the attention of Crossports On Jan 31, this film on the life of Clarence Thomas will be released nationwide in theaters (although I am sure not in all markets) - I saw the story today and wanted to pass it along as many here (on both sides of the political aisle) will be interested here's the link with a trailer www.justicethomasmovie.com/

When I tried to click on to watch the trailer, I got a Norton security warning. I don't plan to watch the full movie anyway.

I read at least one bio of him. He is said to be the most well liked Justice within the Court. English is not his first language. Grew up in the Savannah area among a group of Blacks who have their own language.

We had a thread on this a few months ago. PBS is going to show it in May according to a piece from Kathleen Parker of the Post written at that time. If you like the Justice, you will think its great. If you don't like him, you will probably think its hagiographic. I have read his book and heard an interview with him on a podcast a year or two ago. I don't know that this will break any new ground, but I am willing to watch.

An open mind is a gift, but can also be a burden. I hope you enjoy the story.

When I noticed that Justice Thomas was not listed among HC's "Points of Pride" on HC's website while the names of several Congressmen are listed there, I emailed HC pointing out the omission. I heard nothing for a number of weeks. Recently I received an Email from an HC webmaster notifying me that Justice Thomas as been added to Points of Pride. I'll made no further comment because I don't want to receive a slap on the wrist or worse from our Administrator.

Justice Thomas did not turn his back on Holy Cross after he made it big. It's unfortunate if anyone at HC wants to turn their back to him just because of ideological differences.
