'Created Equal': Movie About Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in Theaters TomorrowWhen Thomas was sworn in, after enduring what no man or woman should have to endure in his confirmation hearings, in his speech he alluded to Psalm 30, which reads: "I will praise You, Lord, for You have rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me ... Weeping may go on all night, but joy comes with the morning."
It has been said that the very moment a man finds himself, he finds God. This captures the story of Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, a man of deep faith whose youthful struggles with racism caused that faith to be shaken but who later returned to it, more deeply and more resolutely because of his great character and refusal to settle for anything but truth. PRAY FOR THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND NATIONAL LEADERS BY NAME, DOWNLOAD OUR PRAYER GUIDE The new film "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words" will be released in theaters nationwide Jan. 31, exquisitely timed with Black History Month. But this is also a time of great tensions and divisions in our nation, with race continuing to be one of the main issues dividing us. Thomas published his memoir, "My Grandfather’s Son," in 2007, which tells the story of his journey from beginning life dirt-poor in Pinpoint, Georgia, to his confirmation as U.S. Supreme Court associate justice in 1991. Now filmmaker Michael Pack delivers Thomas’ remarkable story to us in his own words, bringing to the screen exclusive interviews with Thomas and his wife, Virginia Thomas, in which they speak their minds... Thomas describes what he had to endure: "(Y)ou’re not really black because you’re not doing what we expect black people to do." And with regard to what the left was trying to achieve with Anita Hill, he said: "People should just tell the truth: ‘This is the wrong black guy. He has to be destroyed.'". . . Thomas talks about the restoration of his Catholicism after his youthful rebellion and black radicalism: "I asked God, ‘If You take anger out of my heart, I’ll never hate again.'" Anger and hate are just other forms of slavery. Other people are controlling you. Thomas became a free man once his faith was restored. Thomas is now the most senior associate justice on the Supreme Court and has become one of America’s great conservative elder statesmen. His opinions over these years have already created a legacy of finely and rigorously reasoned jurisprudence, faithful to the core principles on which America was founded. When Thomas was sworn in, after enduring what no man or woman should have to endure in his confirmation hearings, in his speech he alluded to Psalm 30, which reads: "I will praise You, Lord, for You have rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me ... Weeping may go on all night, but joy comes with the morning." What better way to pay tribute to America and black history than going to see this important new film? Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here (Excerpt from Starr Parker Commentary.
