Clarence Thomas And P.G. County

NPR
Published June 4, 1996 at 10:00 PM MDT

Commentator Sam Fulwood says the fight in Prince George's County, Maryland over inviting Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas to speak to an eighth-grade class is a public spectacle of official cowardice, racial politics and divisive posturing. He claims it is a sad example of how race is discussed and used in this country.
