despite
[segregation
and Jim Crow]
there was a
deep and
abiding love
for our
country, and a
firm desire to
have the
rights and
responsibilities
of full
citizenship.
Regardless of
how society
treated us,
there was
never any
doubt that we
were equally
entitled to
claim the
promise of
America as our
birthright,
and equally
duty bound to
honor and
defend her to
the best of
our ability.
We held these
ideals first
and foremost,
because we
were raised to
know that as
children of
God, we were
inherently
equal and
equally
responsible
for our
actions . . ..
Whether deemed inferior by the crudest bigots [or] considered a victim by the most educated elites, being dismissed as anything other than inherently equal is still at bottom, a reduction of our human worth. My nuns at St. Benedict’s taught me that that was a lie. And to paraphrase Solzhenitsyn, we were not to live by that lie. [I]n God’s eyes, we were inherently equal, and that was the truth that permeated our home life as well—less with a focus on rights and more with a focus on what was required of us as children of God. — Clarence Thomas ______________________ Permission is hereby granted to any and all to copy and paste any entry on this page and convey it electronically along with its URL, ______________________ |
