Unit 4: Women of Power (1ère Générale)

 Ketanji Brown Jackson breaking glass-ceiling.

Ketanji Brown Jackson made history by being the first black woman nominated to the Supreme Court. Indeed, she is one of the only judges that is not a white man. In fact, throughout the years, there have been 150 supreme court judges and 108 of them were white men.

She was nominated by Biden in June 2021 and had the support of three Republican judges. At the time, she was 51 years. She graduated from Harvard Law School. She has been known for being a public defender. Now, with her new position she is considered as a stepping stone for the black community as she is paving the way to other women and people of color to access this position or any other powerful positions someday.
