The US Senate yesterday made a historic confirmation of the nomination of Justice Ketanzi Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, of which she will be the first African-American justice.
All Democratic senators and three Republican senators voted in favor of Jackson, 51, who will replace 83-year-old Justice Stephen Breyer, who will retire at the end of June. Ketanzi Brown Jackson, a Harvard graduate, has served as a federal judge.
She is the mother of two girls and is married to prominent surgeon Patrick Graves Jackson.
"This is a historic moment for our nation. We have taken another step to ensure that our Supreme Court reflects the diversity of America. She will be an incredible Justice and I am honored to share this moment with her," said U.S. President Joe Biden.
