The Truth About Clarence Thomas s Disclosures – WSJ

Clarence Thomas lost his beloved maternal grandparents barely a month apart in the spring of 1983. Myers Anderson, whom his grandson knew as Daddy, died of a stroke on March 30. Christine Anderson, known as Aunt Tina, suffered a stroke as well and died on May 1. Perhaps, I thought, she d lost the will to live, Justice Thomas writes in his 2007 memoir, My Grandfather s Son.

The Andersons, who were 75 and 70 respectively, are buried at Palmyra Baptist Church in Liberty County, Ga. When they died, Mr. Thomas was 34 and chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Losing Aunt Tina a month after Daddy was more painful than I could ever have imagined, he writes. How could I have let myself grow away from her, or from the man who . . . was the only real father I d ever had?
