Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
Great American Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the high Court on October 15, 1991. He is the second African-American to serve on the Court, succeeding Thurgood Marshall. He is known to most Americans as the subject of heated confirmation hearings after it emerged that a former subordinate, attorney Anita Hill, accused him of unseemly behavior. Often viewed as the most conservative member of the Court, he has notably come down against Roe v. Wade and school desegregation.
