Congratulations to Ketanji Brown Jackson...who will become the first-ever Black woman in the 233-year history of the U.S. Supreme Court to preside as Justice!
Jackson will have to wait till June or July to finally be sworn in as a SCOTUS judge (since outgoing Justice Stephen Breyer won't be retiring till this summer), but in the meantime, she'll serve as a shining beacon for young African-American women who aspire to pursue law and earn such an esteemed position in the highest levels of the U.S. government when they grow up.
And this is yet another win for President Biden—who fulfilled his campaign plege of putting a Black woman on the Supreme Court after passing a long-anticipated infrastructure bill and ending the 20-year war in Afghanistan during his 14 months in office. Well done.
