He was one of the leading inventors of all time, the phonograph (record player) and of course the incandescent light bulb. He was also heavily involved in the building of the nations electrical distribution infrastructure, especially the power dam at Niagara falls.

Some people think of Granville T. Woods as the "Black Edison"-- like Thomas Edison, he was an inventor who was years ahead of his time. He was born and raised in Ohio, and despite having only a limited education, he apprenticed himself to men who helped him develop his considerable engineering skills. In his life, he got more than 60 patents, including a signaling system that helped make railroad communication more effective and prevented accidents. I enclose a link to a good biography of his life.

No, he did not. In fact, shortly after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Court, Justice Thurgood Marshall told Justice Thomas that "I had to do in my time what I had to do, and you have to do in your time what you have to do." Justice Marshall acknowledged the differences in their perspectives, but they respected each other.
