‘Judge Jackson stands on the shoulders of giants’: women of color on a day to celebrate

Ketani Brown Jackson becomes the first Black female justice on US's highest legal body after her confirmation passes 53-47

Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the US supreme court has passed the Senate and she will now become the first Black female justice on America's highest legal body after being nominated by Joe Biden earlier this year.

Jackson's nomination has been widely praised by women of color, especially after she sustained grueling confirmation hearings at the hands of some top Republicans who seemed dedicated to political points-scoring and whose criticisms often seemed like racist dog-whistling.
