*The full story behind the wildly successful documentary film, Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words*

Born into dire poverty in the segregated South and abandoned by his father as a child, Justice Clarence Thomas triumphed over seemingly insurmountable odds to become one of the most influential justices on the Supreme Court. Yet after three decades of honorable service, few know him beyond his contentious confirmation and the surrounding media firestorm.

Who is Justice Clarence Thomas, in his own words? 

In the follow-up to the wildly successful documentary by the same name, Created Equal builds on dozens of hours of groundbreaking, one-on-one interviews with Thomas to share a new, expanded account of his powerful story for the first time.

Producer Michael Pack and Mark Paoletta, a lawyer who worked alongside Thomas during his confirmation, dive deep into the Justice’s story. Drawing on a rich array of historical documents and unreleased conversations with Thomas, his wife, and those who knew him best, Created Equal is a timeless account of faith, race, power, and personal resilience.

Reviews for Created Equal

[Tanya · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Probably more of a rating on the man, than the book. But, I found this book to be a wonderful and insightful look at the man behind Justice Thomas. I have an overwhelming respect for the man, his character, his faith, and his role. What the government and his 'enemies' did to him - and his strength to survive it all... tells me everything I need to know and make me thankful that he is a Supreme Court Justice.

[Richard Foster · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The story of a man growing up in America. The story of a man who didn’t quit when things didn’t always go his way. The story of a man who seeks wise counsel and imparts that wisdom to others so that they may understand. Truly a great story.
