As we near America’s 250th birthday, I recommend this speech to your high school and middle school students.
Clarence Thomas And The Lost Constitution
Award-winning historian Myron Magnet tells the story of Justice Clarence Thomas’ upbringing, intellectual journey, and judicial philosophy. Raised by his grandparents, Thomas rose from crushing poverty, segregation, oppression, and political radicalism to become one of America’s greatest and most consequential legal minds.
After reading this book, your student will have a better understanding of America’s founding ideals, the historical and judicial shifts that fundamentally changed America’s constitutional system, and Thomas’ efforts to restore America’s original constitutional worldview that protects God-given natural rights and promotes individual responsibility and prosperity.
This was truly a fascinating, moving, and enlightening read.
