Eddie Jenkins and Virginia Lamp Thomas
In college Thomas had urged his black friends not to date white women but now 20 years later he changed his mind. In 1987 Clarence Thomas got married for a second time and Virginia Lamp became Jenny Thomas. George H.W. Bush won the presidency in November 1988 and Thomas was angling hard for federal judgeship. He met with conservative power brokers and had his allies talking up to the White House counsel's office. The change came when I went to visit him on the hill you know we were all hanging out together. We can now speak the most majestic words a democracy has to offer the people have spoken.
