Georgia’s GOP-controlled Senate has voted to erect a monument to U.S. Supreme Court Justice and Georgia native Clarence Thomas. The vote followed a heated debate, with some Black senators saying that Thomas' legal opinions have hurt African Americans.
“I didn’t agree with everything that President Carter did. He is a great Georgian and a president we should be proud of,” Watson said. “I would hope that you would feel the same way about Justice Thomas. He is a wonderful person.”
Thomas has called on justices to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that extended abortion rights across the country. She added, “It seems like white America keeps wanting to promote Justice Thomas, but we see more evidence where time and time again he subverts the struggles of Black Americans.”
