** Editor's Note:
------------------------------------------------------------

In his private way, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas celebrated the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday throughout his life with the people who made him the man he is today: the Franciscan nuns who guided him in his school years in Savannah, GA. They changed his life, as documented by Mark Paoletta and Michael Pack in Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words. Perhaps we should all use MLK Day to honor those who have been critical influences in our own lives. Reprinted with permission. Pat Daugherty, Ed.D.
