When it opened in September, the National Museum of African American History & Culture failed to include an African American in one of the most important federal branches — Justice Clarence Thomas.

Professor Jacobson blogged in October:

One of the unique identifying features of leftist control of institutions is the use and abuse of history to advance current political objectives.

By any fair measure, Clarence Thomas plays a prominent role in Black History. But not at the new National Museum of African American History & Culture, part of the Smithsonian. Thomas has been all but written out of the history books, so to speak, part of a decades-long effort to demean and trivialize Thomas because he’s a conservative jurist. How Orwellian of them.
