Biden Nominates First Black Woman to Supreme Court
As Black History Month draws to a close, President Joseph Biden keeps one of his most notable campaign pledges and nominates 51 year old federal judge, past Harvard Law Review editor and Harvard overseer since 2016, Ketanji Jackson Brown to serve as the first Black woman on the nation’s highest court, the US Supreme Court. She is among just three Black jurists nominated to serve in the Court’s 233 year history. The other two trailblazing jurists to be nominated and successfully confirmed to serve as Supreme Court justices were the late Thurgood Marshall and currently serving, Justice Clarence Thomas.
This is an historic day for our country and an occasion that should inspire a great sense of pride in our government and encourage our nation to continue to achieve diversity across all branches—legislative, judicial and executive. Kudos to the Biden administration for its integrity in following through and it’s leadership in continuing diversity in the executive branch with his choice of Kamala Harris as his Vice Presidential running mate last year, and his recent nomination of Judge Jackson Brown to serve as first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court.
