Greg Thomas is a writer, educator and cultural critic whose critical orientation is grounded in the wise advice of his paternal grandfather, Horace Thomas Sr., who urged him to always differentiate between constructive and destructive criticism: one builds up, the other tears down. Thomas views his cultural and career work, some of which is detailed in the Q&A above, as fulfillment of a black American ancestral imperative.
