1. My Grandfather's Son
A Memoir
A candid autobiographical account of a Black man's rise from poverty in the segregated rural South—raised by a stern, devout grandfather—through education and law school to a career in public service and ultimately the Supreme Court; it recounts personal hardships and losses, explores the shaping influences of family, faith, and schooling, traces his political and judicial evolution toward originalist conservatism, and offers a spirited defense against the intense public scrutiny and controversy that accompanied his confirmation.
