“We Didn’t Know He Was Clarence Thomas”
"These young men had no idea who I was as I formed my first impression. I was just another stranger to them ... They were wonderful ambassadors for your school and for their fellow students."- Clarence Thomas, U.S. Supreme Court justice
High school seniors Terrence Stephens and Jason Ankrah, star football players at Quince Orchard High School in Gaithersburg, Md., were sitting on a plane returning from a recruitment session at the University of Nebraska when they struck up a conversation with the man sitting next to them.
By the time the plane landed, the students had figured out who Thomas was, and they promptly told their principal they wanted to invite Thomas to give the keynote speech at their high school graduation.
