WASHINGTON, DC – APRIL 07: U.S. President Joe Biden congratulates Ketanji Brown Jackson moments after the U.S. Senate confirmed her to be the first Black woman to be a justice on the Supreme Court in the Roosevelt Room at the White House on April 07, 2022 in Washington, DC.
For many students of color, they’ve never seen someone who looks like them serve on the highest court of the land. Moore is the president of the Black Law Students’ Association. She told CBS4 she couldn’t watch the nomination hearings because she didn’t want to get her hopes up, in case the confirmation didn’t happen.
If Brown Jackson was conservative, they wouldn't be celebrating her. Minority women Democrats are celebrated. Minority women Republicans are demonized.
