The FTC president praises Judge Thomas for the month of Black History in the employee memo

Dear colleagues,

Last Friday, President Trump issued a presidential advertisement that recognizes February 2025 as a national month of black history, and “ED) for public officials … and all the residents of the United States to monitor this month with appropriate programs, celebrations and activities.” In his announcement, President Trump properly pointed out that “the black Americans Canon are among the most subordinate leaders of our country, and they constitute the cultural and political destiny of our nation in deep ways.” They were known as “Friedrich Douglas, Harright Tobman, Thomas Sewel, and Justice Clarence Thomas” as “heroes American. “

President Trump is right. Judge Thomas is an American hero. He is the most important judge in the past hundred years. He is a good, honorable and friendly man. Because the president has called us to celebrate the achievements of men and women, such as justice, Thomas, during the month of black history, I want to take this occasion to share a little.

I encourage anyone who wants to get to know Judge Thomas’s amazing journey to watch the 2020 documentary He was created on an equal footing: Clarence Thomas with his own words. He descends from slaves in West Africa, Judge Thomas grew up in punishing poverty. It also arose under a government that deprived black citizens of equality under the law. He could not walk through some public parks, introduce some public libraries, or attend some public schools due to the color of his skin. Consequently, Judge Thomas will have a greater reason than most of them for grievances and carry grudges against America.

But he did the opposite. He believed in the promises of the founding of America, and ascended to the highest increase in the American government and society. One of the things that makes Americans distinct from the rest of the world is our belief that our past is not necessarily our fate. With hard work, design, and talent, any American can overcome the hardships of the past and achieve greatness. Justice Thomas is a living embodiment of that American spirit.

It has overcome more than just a difficult education. His views on the law – which was once expressed in the only opponents, who was now leading the majority of the court – had been exposed to meet by American elites for years. It was, the goal of vibrations and progressive opponents. Many of these attacks were explicitly racist. But it is not polished. The same unprecedented spirit that Jim Crowe has enabled Judge Thomas to reject those who reject the elite and draw his way in the law – a path followed by the Supreme Court now.

Of course, he did not do it alone. Judge Thomas’s family helped push him to these highlands. Judge Thomas, Meers Anderson, the owner of the small business in Savana, motivated Judge Thomas to excellence. His wife, Jenny, is an American patriot, who supported her husband with courage and unusual throughout his general career, even when his opponents resorted to lies and shock. Judge Thomas has long identified his deep Catholic faith as a source of strength and courage.

I am a writer for Judge Thomas. I got to know that it is not just a great man, but also a good and decent person. He loves his law like his family members. He knows and is interested in the types of people that will be passed by the average DC Titan by – Custodians, assistants, tour guides, and police officers. Remember their birthdays, children and health conflicts.

I can’t think about any better summary of Thomas’s greatness, not a better defense of America’s promise, than the closing lines of his approval in Students for a fair admission against HarvardWhere the Supreme Court adopted the long view of Judge Thomas, saying that the conscious acceptance policies of race violate the promise of the constitution to equal color:

“While I am painfully realized the social and economic harmony that has been afflicted with my race and everyone who suffer from discrimination, I am dealing with permanent hope that this country will clearly amount to its principles in the declaration of independence and the constitution of the constitution of the United States: that all men be created on an equal footing They are equal citizens, and they must be treated equally with the law. “

I wish you all the month of happy black history.
