“I am a man, a black man, an American.”
Clarence Thomas (1948) Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
1990s, I Am a Man, a Black Man, an American (1998)
Context: Despite some of the nonsense that has been said about me by those who should know better, and so much nonsense, or some of which subtracts from the sum total of human knowledge, despite this all, I am a man, a black man, an American. And my history is not unlike that of many blacks from the deep South. And in many ways it is not that much different from that of many other Americans.
