My Grandfather’s Son

My Grandfather’s Son is well written memoir of the life of Clarence Thomas. Clarence Thomas is a personal hero of mine, but even more so after reading this book. Usually biographies are not page turners for me, but this one was. Clarence Thomas overcame the limitations of segregation, racism, and affirmative action to live the American Dream, and be all he could be. This is a very inspirational book and is well worth your time.
