A. Leon Higginbotham Jr.: Who Will Carry the Baton?
No full textIt was a rainy November day during Thanksgiving weekend of 1997. The scene was the Washington, D.C., childhood home of Dr. Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, A. Leon Higginbotham Jr.\u27s beloved wife. Our assignment was to assist in the removal, packing, and transport of a few prized family heirlooms that were to be taken to their home in Newton, Massachusetts.
On the early morning drive into Washington, D.C., our conversation was mostly idle chit-chat. Little did we know that the circumstances of the day would lead to an amazing set of discussions, the importance of which we could never have imagined at the time. When we arrived, we were greeted by the Judge, who had just finished his breakfast. As we entered, he smiled and gave a sigh of relief noting that we had just enough time to pack up the items, load the car, and safely get to the airport even in the midst of the heavy rainfall

Speaking Truth to Power: A Tribute to A. Leon Higginbotham, Jr
No full textIt has been over three years since that November day when A. Leon Higginbotham, Jr. made his last public appearance, testifying before the House Judiciary Committee considering the impeachment of President William Jefferson Clinton. His candid, objective, and scholarly testimony before the Committee helped to convince many members of Congress that the impeachment of Clinton was inconsistent with constitutional provisions, unsupported by legal history, and intellectually dishonest. As he did so many times throughout his professional career, Leon spoke truth to power. Sometimes, power acceded to his truth, but more often only history proved him right. Nonetheless, Leon had the courage to speak the truth no matter how strong the opposition or controversial the issue

Justice Clarence Thomas in Retrospect
No full textMore than two years have passed since Clarence Thomas became a member of the Supreme Court, and Judge Higginbotham suggests that it is now appropriate to reflect on some of the issues pertaining to Thomas\u27s nomination and some aspects of his performance as a Justice. Judge Higginbotham explains why, in 1991, he published An Open Letter to Justice Clarence Thomas from a Federal Judicial Colleague and notes the praise and the criticism he received from the publication.
Judge Higginbotham addresses the duality that confronts all African-Americans and discusses the importance of this insight in their outlooks as public officials. He suggests that Justice Thomas fails to appreciate the duality of his experiences as an American and as an African-American. After discussing Justice Thomas\u27s opinion in Hudson v. McMillian, Judge Higginbotham suggests that Justice Thomas\u27s failings may be due to either his inability to appreciate the true history of America or his becoming a victim of his own racial self-hatred.
Judge Higginbotham reflects on the poignant moments during Justice Thurgood Marshall\u27s last year and on his death. Judge Higginbotham reluctantly concludes that, unlike Justice Marshall\u27s support of the oppressed, Justice Thomas\u27s lasting impact will be harmful to the rights of minorities, women, and the powerless
