Clarence Thomas Hails Thomas Sowell As the Thinker Who Reshaped His Life

In a new episode of The Sowell Legacy, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas sits down with Peter Robinson, his colleague at the Hoover Institution, for a wide-ranging conversation about economist and author Thomas Sowell, the thinker who transformed his life. Justice Thomas recounts discovering Sowell's work as a young lawyer and the friendship that followed, along with the lessons in self-reliance, honesty, and intellectual independence that shaped his own journey—from segregated Georgia to the U.S. Supreme Court.
