Petition Effort Wins Smithsonian Recognition for Justice Clarence Thomas
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Over 17,000 people signed a petition at StandUnited.org asking the National African American Museum of History and Culture to include the achievements of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
The museum has now opened a new exhibit on the lives and achievements of our nation's first two African American supreme court justices. Thomas is recognized alongside his predecessor, the late Justice Thurgood Marshall. Prior to this exhibit, Thomas was only mentioned tangentially alongside the story of Anita Hill.
The exhibit debuted on Sunday, September 24th, exactly one year to the date of the museum's opening in 2016. This marks the 15th victory for StandUnited petitions in 2017.
StandUnited is an online petition platform used by advocates of personal liberty, free enterprise, and American freedom.
