Thomas Campbell Clark (September 23,

1899 – June 13, 1977) was an American lawyer who served as the 59th United States Attorney

General from 1945 to 1949. He was an Associate Justice of

the Supreme Court of the

United States from 1949 to 1967. Born

in Dallas, Texas, Clark

graduated from the University of Texas School

of Law after serving in World War I. He practiced law in Dallas until 1937, when he

accepted a position in the United

States Department of Justice. After Harry S. Truman became President of the United

States in 1945, he chose Clark as his Attorney General. In

1949, Truman successfully nominated Clark to fill the Supreme Court vacancy

caused by the death of Associate Justice Frank Murphy. Clark remained on the court until his retirement

in 1967, and was succeeded by Thurgood Marshall. Clark retired so that his son, Ramsey Clark, could assume the position of Attorney General. Clark

served on the Vinson Court and

the Warren Court. He voted

with the Court's majority in the several cases concerning racial

segregation, including the landmark case of Brown v. Board of

Education. He wrote the majority opinion in landmark Mapp v. Ohio,

which ruled that the Fourth Amendment prohibition against unreasonable searches

and seizures applies to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. He also

wrote the majority opinion in Heart of Atlanta

Motel v. United States, which upheld the public accommodations

provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,

and the majority opinions in Garner v. Board of Public

Works, Joseph Burstyn, Inc. v.

Wilson, and Abington

School District v. Schempp.
