No Black woman has ever been nominated to the high court.When word came that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer was retiring, the spotlight almost immediately shifted to who might replace him -- and getting a lot of attention has been Ketanji Brown Jackson, who clerked for Breyer about 20 years ago.
Taking one of her suggestions, Jackson's parents named her Ketanji Onyika, which she said they were told translates to"lovely one.", revealed more of her personal side, reflecting not just on her legal career -- but on dealing with motherhood at the same time. "In our family, we have a mantra that emphasizes prioritization on work over play as one of our first principles," Jackson said."As the girls would testify, 'do what you need to do before what you want to do' is a constant refrain in our house."
President Joe Biden said Thursday he is committed to keeping his campaign promise to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court -- and that pledge is bound to come up at confirmation hearings if he picks her.She has noted she is"fairly certain" her ancestors were slaves on both sides of her family.
