Kentaji Brown
By: Xavier Wiiliams
April 7th, 2022, will go down in history as one of the days our nation finally turned a page that’s been begging for decades. Kentanji Brown Jackson became the first-ever black woman to be nominated to sit on the supreme court. President Biden stuck to his word when he was campaigning back in 2020 when Biden said he would appoint a black woman to the supreme court if he were elected. Under the Obama administration, brown was a potential candidate, but things fell through. Brown is very qualified for this position as she’s a graduate of Harvard Law School. Where she was a supervising editor for the “Harvard Law Review.” Brown has done nothing but add to her resume as she started her career out working with the U.S. Sentencing Commission, the District Court, and now the Court of Appeals. She was nominated into the chair 53 to 47 votes, receiving all of the votes from the Democratic party and scrapping away three from the Republican party, two of which were from women. According to Brown’s track record, she will look to vindicate wrong sentences in the legal system. On April 8th, Brown was officially sworn into her new position with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris by her side.
