*The full story behind the wildly successful documentary film, Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words*

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.

In the follow-up to the wildly successful documentary by the same name, 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.

My Favorite Justice

Should be required reading in all high-schools. Go watch watch Justice Thomas speak on C-Span.

brilliant

loved it. enjoyed hearing facts rather than the currently crafted narrative garbage that's always being pushed.
really enjoyed the stories, the closer look at a great man.

What an extraordinary man!

I am so grateful to Justice Thomas for sharing the stories of his life experiences, so we can all better understand how important and what a difference it can make to be raised and surrounded by people who love God, teach the lessons and values found in the Bible, have faith, integrity, work ethic, and who are a positive influence. His life story is very very special.

Clarence Thomas in his own words

I feel like I truly know CT now...like I grew up with him, endured his struggles with him, and achieved his victories with him. if you want to really know Justice Thomas, listen to him talk about his amazing life. Bonus audio from his wife Ginnie Thomas.

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.

Exceptional

Exceptional person, exceptional life, exceptional story, exceptional execution and exceptional delivery. Did I mention exceptional? Anyone who doesn’t read this book will miss an exceptional opportunity to see love and hand of God in all things.

Impressive….inspiring

Every life is filled with challenges. Some much more more than others. The life of Clarence Thomas reminds me that I have not just the ability for the obligation to meet and overcome my challenges. I have found his life story to be both instructive, edifying and inspiring. I highly recommend this book.

Great book

Amazing view into the inner workings of a real life American icon. The book delves into how he overcame the orchestrated discrimination by then Senator Biden , the Democrats and the main stream media

Not quite what I expected

I would have enjoyed this more if it was a continuous autobiography in the Clarence’s own words, but it was more of a narration and putting together of interview questions. I still thought it insightful and interesting, knowing nothing about Justice Thomas’s life before.

America's best Supreme Court Justice

I was a very young man, maybe 23, when Thomas was appointed to the Supreme Court. He was an affirmative action placement because, bright as he is, he did not have the resume for the job at the time it was awarded. That just tells me how weak resume-evaluations can be... because he is an incredible man with an incredible history. He's smart. He works hard. He's humble. He's kind. He adheres to the constitution as best he can. He epitomizes what it is to be an American.
