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.

Did US Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall call Justice Clarence Thomas a traitor to his race?
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.
