At the moment, Clarence Thomas, who was nominated by George H. W. Bush in 1991, is the only African-American on the Court. He replaced Thurgood Marshall (1967-1991), the first African-American to serve as Supreme Court Justice, upon Marshall's retirement.

There have only been two African-Americans on the US Supreme Court to date.
