<p>On Monday, a Smithsonian spokesperson made the announcement that an exhibit of Justice Thomas had been installed in the Museum.  ;The display also honors the first black Justice Thurgood Marshall.</p><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Even if you don&#8217;t agree with Justice Thomas many still believe he deserves recognition for his years of public service, contributions to constitutional law and an amazing life story.</p><div class='mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle' style='display: none !important;'></div>
<p>A story of a man born the ancestor of slaves whose father left at the age of two.  ;His mother worked for pennies a day and by age seven he and his family would be homeless. Years later Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated which became the leading influence in Thomas&#8217;s pursuing a career in law.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unfortunate that the museum did not include Justice Thomas with the opening of the museum.  ;The Smithsonian has corrected its omission by making room for this key figure on the Supreme Court.</p>
